aerial picture last taken of deceased man?

I did the crane work for this steel building for an aquaintance several months ago. A month ago he died suddenly from a brain stroke, bang just like that, at 63 yrs and in great health. From the photo you can see he was busy on the new building, him and his sons doing all the work. I landed several times at the site, a gravel yard. We discussed me flying through the building before the ends were on, but decided it wasn't worth moving the gravel pile on one end :shock: He's down there waving.

So now I'm sending this picture to his widow, along with the crane bill (less one load of gravel), and it occurred to me this may be the last picture taken of him, and I sure hope it doesn't cause her problems.

I decided to follow up on the bill, after several of his friends and relatives said hell yeah, Norm would want you paid. This guy didn't smoke or drink, ever, but still dropped dead, go figure. Image
