Default Passing of a Great Guy

Alex Rokitnicki ("Rocky") passed away 10 Dec 09 after a long illness.

Rocky was a Hurricane pilot with the Polish RAF and emigrated to
Canada after WWII. He spent many years with the Royal Canadian Air
Cadets, teaching countless numbers of our youth (including me) to fly
gliders.

He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
