precision 0 #126 August 5, 2008 Beezy's birthday is today as a matter of fact (August 5). I think that we spent at least 50 of his 57 birthdays together. As many people may recall (or not), it was celebrated at the WFFC in Quincy. His birthday in 1955 was most memorable to me, at the Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park in Chattanooga. He had just gotten a new wristwatch for his 5th birthday and it got wet and quit working when we rode down the Boat Chute at Lake Winnie http://www.lakewinnie.com/LWwebA/btcht.htm Happy Birthday Beezy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
primetime 18 #127 October 27, 2008 I can't believe it's already been a year since Beezy left us. I miss my friend and mentor. I miss celebrating his birthday at Quincy every year, and later Rantoul. I miss his stories, told the way only he could tell them. I can still hear his voice in my head sometimes: big, loud, and oozing Southern charm. His great guffaw of a laugh. One year at the Mardi Gras boogie in Moss Point, I showed up at the DZ at two in the morning. As soon as I walked up to the bonfire, Beezy yelled my name in that distinctive voice. I instantly knew that the weekend would be unforgettable. The pictures are still hidden in a safe deposit box. In my skydiving dreams, Beezy and Chris Martin are my wingmen. Blue skies, my brother...

precision 0 #131 October 28, 2014 It has been 7 long years ago that the world lost the spirit of my dearest childhood friend, college roommate, fraternity brother, first jump buddy, 10 way speed star member, fellow pilot, test jumper, and only son of my godfather. Beezy never met a stranger, and the world is a more challenging place without his fun-loving and adventurous presence. R.I.P. my friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
