Default Condolences..

For those who would like to send their condolences, the Cuellar's address is 6068 South Locust Circle, Centennial, CO 80111. I'm sure they'd be well received.

Can we raise some money to get Alex's name put on the EAA memorial wall at Oshkosh and work our magic to get his folks to Oshkosh for the ceremony?

Default Condolences

I was at Oshkosh 2012 for the first time and stayed at the Oshkosh Christian School in the same room with Alex and his father. I was so fortunate to spend time with both of them and share the same passion with them. I'm also a military man myself so it was nice to talk to them a little about the Canadian Air Force. Alex sure was a special person and I was truely touched by his enthusiam about his passion for life.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Blue skies my friend.

Great idea, Bob. I'm in. What does the wall memorial run?

I believe the cost is $350. I'm checking with the family to see if they are interested in memorializing him there. I would think they'd want to be present, so if they can't attend (i.e. no PTO from work, seeing as they've spent all their time in the hospital), they may choose to do this at a later time. It's a great sentiment though. Stay tuned.

Mike, let us know. It will take about 2 seconds to get the $350.

Default Memorial

The Memorial Wall is a great idea. To expand, how about airfare for the parents as well. It would not take much effort at $20-25 per member to put this all together. Maybe a hotel room as well. What do you think VAF members? I'm in for anything.
