I think he liked this send off mission. He got kissed by the soldier we sent off (Yes! She is a soldier!) and had a beer in his hand.  Will miss ya Irish.. Until we ride together again in region 7.... -matter |

Irish is a true loss to our worldly planet. In some long talks with him, I learned he was a tough 'ol son of a gun with a heart of gold. RIP (Ride in Peace) my friend, you will be missed. |

Will forever remember your kindness and contageous smile and thank you for your service to others. <+>< |

Irish, I never had the nerve to call you Billy, but I am proud to have called you my friend. As I remember, on each ride you would claim ‘Tail Gunner’ and everyone allowed you that position. On this mission I will ‘Tail Gun’ you have done your job. Say hello to Jon D for me. |
