Good memories of Rod Hay

I have some dual hours in my log book in the distant past with Rod. I can't remember the specifics, a BFR or aircraft checkout (or two). What I do remember though is what a gentle soul he was and how thorough was his knowledge and his instructing style. I thought he was so good at communicating and making the student feel at ease I had him give my wife a "how to take over flying the aircraft if the pilot becomes incapacitated" lesson. I remember he had her land (a Beechcraft Sundowner) during the one hour lesson which amazed her and gave her a boost in confidence that she'd know what to do if I was ever incapacitated.

One of the gentlemen of GA. He'll be missed by many.
