A friend of mine from Lloydminster, his 35 year old partner have just left their 7 kids behind.
I just talked to him a couple days ago, was saying how much he loved his Cessna 182, and he was flying a lot.
Deepest condolences to family and friends.

Son of a gun Ken, this is terrible news. 7 children is a whole lot of heart ache to tackle. All the best to family, friends and of course the kids. So, so saddening.
I'm still in shock over this.
I talked to him 2 days ago, he had just landed.
He was saying he was doing regular flights to GP and talking about all the time he was saving.
As soon as I heard 40 year old pilot from Lloydminster it was just a cold shiver down my back.
This sucks.

Condolences to the family especially the children. I can't help but think of Jason Peterson from Wild TV fame. I do believe he bought a plane to help with his outfitting and TV shows and ended up crashing and loss of his life. Left a young family.
Condolences to this couple's families and friends.

Terrible news Ken. Being a flying family for most of my life it really hits home. I'm wondering if he hit some of the crazy weather happening around there?
Sincere condolences Ken - to you and the family of your friends that were lost.
