I Cant Believe it, Very upsetting news
To say I am in shock is an understatement.
I hadn't seen shane for years and caught up with him only a few days ago during a short visit to darwin,
He was one of the nicest people I have ever come across in the industry, I meet him as a new pilot in my very first flying job in Groote,He did my check ride and gave me a pat on my back and told me Id be right.
He was one of the most giving pilots I have ever come across in the industry, always trying to help others out and pass on his knowledge, He enjoyed watching young pilots learn and grow, and was always there to give useful pointers, I am very happy to have had him as a friend and I am very sad at hearing the news, it has upset me more than I thought it would, as all my memories of him are positive ones
My sincere condolences go out to his family who were always the most important thing in his life, when ever I spoke to him he would always talk about how they were going and how proud he was of them all.
You will be very sorely missed mate,
RIP
