[NSRCA-discussion] John Gayer has passed away

[Wallace, Bill]

What s sad day for pattern, I met John at John Bentley’s contest in Arizona and looked forward to visiting with him every year there.  Just a real gentleman and always willing to help.  He will be missed.

NSRCA Members-
It’s with a very heavy heart to say we just learned that John Gayer passed away unexpectedly on Christmas Eve.  John had been ill the week before Christmas.

This leaves many of us with a huge void as he loved pattern, had been heavily active in the NSRCA for so many years (NSRCA member #632), was so involved in helping others with plane setup, understanding maneuvers, rules, and most especially- motivation to keep trying in the face if difficulty.  John and I spent hours and hours of time together at the field over the last 5 years.  He coached me thru my first contest, my first contest away from home, and took me to my first Nats.  He was always at the field, and if I wasn’t, he was calling to find out when or why not.

Beyond pattern, and most importantly, John was a great and loyal friend to so many of us.  Rest in peace John, we’re going to miss you buddy.
