Nick Walsh
Ad astra NTG...
Someday we will know, where the pilots go
When their work on earth is through.
Where the air is clean, and the engines gleam,
And the skies are always blue.
They have flown alone, with the engine’s moan,
As they sweat the great beyond,
And they take delight, at the awesome sight
of the world spread far and yon.
Yet not alone, for above the moan,
when the earth is out of sight,
As they make their stand, He takes their hand,
and guides them through the night.
How near to God are these men of sod,
Who step near death’s last door?
Oh, these men are real, not made of steel,
But He knows who goes before.
And how they live, and love and are beloved,
But their love is most for air.
And with death about, they will still fly out,
And leave their troubles there.
He knows these things, of men with wings,
And He knows they are surely true.
And He will give a hand, to such a man
‘Cause He’s a pilot too.

Funeral Details
From Nick's wife:
Dear All,
We can now confirm all the details for Nick's funeral.
As the title denotes Nick's close family wish this day to be a celebration of his life and would prefer black ties, hats, dresses etc to be replaced with colour, we trust you will understand.
To ensure everyone who wishes to be a part of this celebration, please forward on the below details to anyone you think would like to be made aware.
The details are:
Friday 23rd July
11.00am Church Service
St. John the Baptist Church
Kiddeminster Road
Bromsgrove
12 - 12.15 - Burial
Bromsgrove North Cemetery
Corner of Barleymow Lane & Birmingham Road
Marlbrook
Bromsgrove
1 - 1.30 Post Service Celebration
The Slug & Lettuce
126 - 130 High Street
Bromsgrove
B61 8EY
For those who wish to stop over on either the thursday or friday night the link for the nearest hotel is Premier Inn: http://www.premierinn.com/en/homeQuickSearch!execute.action
Car Parking may be very tight around the Church on Kidderminster Road, however, Asda Car Park is only a couple of minutes walk. Likewise the Cemetery is a couple of miles from the Church and it may be prudent for those who are able to "jump in" with others to do so as we shall be coming back to the Slug and Lettuce after the Cemetery which is only 2 minute walk back to Asda.
Given the incredible support that Nick and the close family received in this last 9 months, we would rather denotions be made rather than flowers. All donations will be split equally between "We are McMillan & The Primrose Hospice". The details for this are via the Funeral directors. Payments made out to "James Giles & Sons - Clients Account". Please advise with the payment who the denotion is from and in memory of Nick Walsh.
It would be a big help for those wishing to attend the Slug & lettuce to advise back to this email address numbers as we would like to cater for everyone attending.

I too knew Nick from his Wattisham days - one of the good guys. I remember his time as a sim instructor while he was getting fit again and we also flew together on 74. Condolences to Sam and family.
