Terry Kruse

Terry was truly one of a kind. He fought his cancer to the end. I was at
Cavair about three weeks ago after not having seen him for about a year.
Like he always had done in the past, he managed to squeeze me in to
the busy schedule there to fix the problem. When I saw him I was shocked
because he was so emaciated that he must have weighed only about 85lbs.
I couldn't belive he was at work. We were talking about his working still,
and he said he wasn't going to let the cancer get the best of him.

Last week I dropped the chopper off for some p.m. and Clemente pulled
me aside and told me that Terry had gone home and wouldn't be back.
When I returned on wednesday he was gone. There's only a handful of people
around that I trust enough to always get the job done right, and Terry was
tops on my list. He'll truly be missed. What a great guy.
