Another B-25 driver down

Thu Aug 26, 2010 6:39 am

I just wanted to inform you all who have seen some of my postings on my father’s aviation past. My father Jack Rees, former owner/operator of B-25J 45-8835 (CF-DKU) which now flies as “Betty’s Dream” with C & P Aviation passed away yesterday at 79 years old. I would like to say thank you to Scott Thompson & Coert Munk who have shown interest in my father’s aviation exploits over the years. And to Gary Lewis, I will get you those pictures I’ve been promising. I’ve attached a few pictures & links to those who are interested in seeing some of my father’s colorful past.

Your father sounds like he lead a very full, fulfilling and colorful life, and must have been great fun to be around. You must have some wonderful memories, and I hope these carry through in the coming years. I am very sorry to hear of your loss though, and can only imagine how you must be feeling right now.

Please take care,
Richard
