D5 loss

[Rock, Charles]

I am one of those folks Charley got started in pattern, his help in trimming my very first pattern plane really was a plus for my intro into pattern flying...so much experience is  now gone! Also agree with Mike, what he was suffering from would have kept most people home let alone sit under a tent and heat..But he dearly loved pattern.. I will miss his advice and friendship..

 Folks Charlie was a special man and we will miss him. I will always remember his love of the sport and his determination. Just a month ago in a condition that would have had most people bed riddin he flew FAI in Omaha. This  just a day after his 80th birthday. He was a hero of mine. 
 We just found out this morning while at the Waukesha Wisconsin contest and those who knew CW were touched. I hope they dedicate a contest in his honor just like the contest we flew in today is dedicated to another great guy Bud Weber. I hope you win your 1st contest in heaven Charlie.                                              Mike Mueller

Gentlemen,
 
I wanted to let everyone know that District 5 lost a long time pattern flyer and supporter of model aviation today.  CW "Charlie" Reed III passed away this morning after a rather lengthy illness.  His presence will be missed.
