Deisel 38 #3 May 19, 2013 Still in a bit of shock over this one. Lenn was my friend. We spend many nights over cold frosty beverages at PKs. Did many an AFF jump together as main and reserve, switching roles half-way through a couple of times. If nothing, he taught me how to go the extra mile with students. Even after getting my ratings, I would still enjoy watching him teach the FJC. I stole more of his techniques than he ever knew. You will be missed my brother.

hparrish 0 #4 May 20, 2013 Blue Skies Buddy.......I'll miss your style and intellect around the DZ. Glad you were on top of the world and happy, before you left us too soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #5 August 5, 2013 On Saturday, August 2nd the majority of Lenn's ashes were released in the blue summer skies over Raeford Parachute Center. Lenn's daughter made her first airplane ride and first skydive as the focal point of the ash dive. Lenn's ashes were released in free fall by the Tandem Instructor and one of Lenn's original Skydiving Instructors. The rest of the Otter load observed in free fall from a respectful distance. If you happen by Raeford and see a set of obnoxious yellow shoelaces, hear some Jimi Hendrix coming from the speakers, or spy a bottle of Fireball whiskey you know LT is there. If you stand still for a short time, know that a large portion of the skydivers passing by were trained by ".5C" While you're there, stop by the S2G gear store or my team room and look at his artwork, a testament to his talent, his intellect, and his passion for the things he loved. The time I knew Lenn seems so short, but we were closely connected on many levels. Earlier this year he paid me one of the biggest compliments I have ever received. I will think of him often and crack a smile, raise a glass, and vow to never forget . . .Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ERRR 2 #6 December 24, 2013 I remember jumping with, and flying for Lenn when he was a student. It made me proud to see him make the Golden Knights and sad to see him go. Blue Skies Lenn! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #7 February 11, 2014 I've got Lenn's 8x10" Skydive Dubai staff photo and the LT memorial staff jump photos hanging over my desk here at work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #8 May 18, 2014 Well, it's been a year since you passed, brother man. I've had your staff picture hanging over my desk at work since the day I got here. We all miss you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
