riggerrob 643 #1 June 21, 2018 Our skybrother Reginald C. Hurlbut died 2018 June 15 at Skydive Chicago in Illinois. He was 68 years old. Better-known as Veggie Reggie, he was a long-time member of the Kamloops Skydivers’ Club. An early-adopter of wing-suits, Veggie’ taught dozens of Sky divers how to fly them. If Reggie’s infectious enthusiasm for skydiving was not enough, he also enjoyed even more adventures on the ground. One time Reggie was recounting his earlier career felling trees in British Columbia. He concluded his lumberjack story with “Now that was an adrenaline sport!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dthames 0 #2 June 21, 2018 I flew with Reg at several events prior to last week. I saw him Thursday when he first arrived at our camp. I reached out to shake his hand, but instead he gave me a hug. Thanks for the hug, Reg. Blue Skies, my friend.Instructor quote, “What's weird is that you're older than my dad!” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimmie 186 #3 June 21, 2018 One of a kind...We did an inflatable Stanley Cup jump at Lost Prairie years ago. We "engraved" our names on it with a magic marker too. Always so much fun to hang out with him over the past 25 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmd 0 #4 July 24, 2018 As a flailer years ago there I was in a plane with Reg ... he had scuba flippers on and a the old camera flyer wingsuit with those arm webs that clipped into the jump suit ... anyway he was the last man out and "JUST WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING" ... so away he jumped ... little did I know he was breaking into on a vanguard basis, the birth of a brave new age ...
