Dick Stratton
Just logged on and heard the sad news. Sincere condolences to Dick's family.
As others have said, a very practical man and a true judge of pilot and aircraft as a 'combination'.
He used to sign off my Cub. One year he came up after I'd called, kicked the tyres, had a good look at the control stick casting and signed me off.
A real friend of light avaition.
