skypuppy 1 #6 April 22, 2015 airdvrfrom his family... Wanted to let everyone know that Bob's dad, Dale Gates, just flew to Heaven. He was an extremely outgoing and well liked man Will be posting soon funeral arrangements. Dale Gates assisted Bill Cole in getting his balloon licence in Canada, letting him use his own balloon (gates') for training, and signing him off.If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead. Bruce McConkey 'I thought we were gonna die, and I couldn't think of anyone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
