This wonderful couple recently joined The International Cessna 170 Association. Its members along with a host of pilots and aviation enthusiasts are deeply saddened with this tragedy. We will miss them.

I was one of the "judges" at the TIC170A convention in Benton Harbor, MI and at that Convention, where we judged the 170B of Bruce and Kathy, a winner in it's class. And the couple were so easily integrated into our 170 family that it is much like losing a immediate family member.

Anything mechanical is subject to failure. Anything with human involvement is subject to error. My condolences to family and friends.

This is terrible...

Prayers for family and friends.

I'm very sad to hear about this. I met Bruce at the High Sierra fly-in last year and enjoyed talking 170's with him. I wonder what went wrong, his plane was in outstanding condition. Condolences to their family.

I have began a thread to remember the good times we have all shared with Bruce and Kathy over the years.
