Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Gene PenningtonJackI wish we had enough willing souls to do a fly by tribute missing man formation for Gene. I had spoken with him a number of times and had e mail communications also. When I learned of hid diagnosis I introduced him toy boss who to was diagnosed Two years prior and was in remission from a rare form. Gene wasn't sure about what to expect. I put the two together in hopes my bosses experience could be shared along with his attitude.The two spoke a couple of times it gave Gene some hope and reassurance that experimental programs are available and working. I was hoping that my bosses attitude would somehow give support to Genes spirit attitude and optimism to keep him going through the dark days of his treatment. Gene appreciated the time and support. My boss Brian was able to give. I spoke with Gene later and he was looking at getting into the air and maybe building another Piet we spoke I bought his tail wheel. We had good conversations.I was fearful that one day I would be thinking of him call and learn he had gone. My worst fears were confirmed today. I thought of him yesterday and wanted to call then. Having almost met him three years prior we never did meet face to face something I wish we had. I did tell him I got his tail wheel mount built and bolted to my project. It was during Buildapalooza 2010 he was glad to hear it was mounted and asked for pics I never sent. I didn't feel I had anything worthy of sending although he would have liked seeing the pics.My boss is still fighting his battle even after loosing his wife to cancer last spring. He still has his attitude an optimism in tact although I am nt sure how he will take the news about Gene our mutual friend.I have no idea why i am sharing this with you now I just felt the needJohn I contacted jack yesterday for His number I got free from my meetings today only to learn of his passing.
