I was just informed by Screwball that Grit passed away today. I have no details yet and will post when I do.

With a heavy heart I must pass the information that the fun loving RAF_Grit passed away today at the young age of 54. Most of you that had the pleasure of knowing him know he always made our nights of flying, racing or shooting a fun event. I am still in shock over this news but hoping anyone has a good memory to please post here so we can remember our fallen brother.

Oh My, that is terrible news.

I got to know Grit on a personal level. When our squad and site were very much threatened with getting the ax, it was Grit and I who planned on saving it. Grit encouraged me, and actually convinced me we could do this. I'm glad I listened to him. Grit counseled me on the technical and inter-personal aspects of our resurrected site and squad. He was always irreverent, and funny. Not least of which he was a cycling brother of mine, yet another one, I've lost, who I consider a brother. Grit's gone off into the sunset on a long breakaway. God Speed Grit, you can coast up hill now always.

Grit, Garrett was like a brother to me. For 15 years we worked together, ate sushi together, rode bikes together and played video games together. I have Garrett to thank for introducing me to you fine people. As sad as I am, I'm also going to continue flying, tanking, racing and mostly talking to, joking with and sharing my life with you all. <S!> to imaginary friends! You're a good bunch, and thank you all for being such a great part of my brother Garrett's life.
