Loss of a Dear BCP Family Member - Noreen Macbean

With a heavy heart, I am so sorry to inform everyone that Noreen was killed this morning in a bike accident. Allen asked me to pass the word on to our flying friends. I can't even imagine what he is going through but obviously he's got a lot on his plate and, for the moment, he doesn't want phone calls or texts. Please remember him and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Noreen was an amazing women full of life and just fun to be around. My kids loved her. I'm so saddened for the loss of a dear friend.

I hadn't gotten to meet them yet, but have watched their videos. They seem like genuinely the best kind of people.

We'll keep their family in our prayers. Terrible, terrible news.

Terrible news :( Noreen was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I always enjoyed getting to visit with her and Allen at a fly in. Allen, my thoughts are with you and your family, I can't imagine how tough this is for you.

Horrible, tragic news. Allen and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Noreen was a exceptional person, her can do attitude and loving personality will be greatly missed. A life well lived and taken far too soon. :(

Words cannot express how sad this makes me. Life just sucks sometimes. Hang in there Allen. Life will never be the same but joy will return. My mother and father in law have lost 2 sons. 46 and 59 years old. Kind regards... Rob

Re: Loss of a Dear BCP Family Member - Noreen Macbean

Don't post here a lot but I have greatly enjoyed reading about your adventures Allen. You and your wife always remind me of the early years in my marriage.-Living life to the fullest and enjoying every minute.
I don't know how you get through this Allen but I guess you will. Not much solace to offer except that you and Noreen are in a lot of prayers.
God bless and God's speed [emoji26]

My deepest sympathies to you Allen.

I met you and Noreen a couple years back at Airventure and had a wonderful visit and hoped to catch up to you both again out west.

I am so sorry for your loss.
