Dick Padgett passed away

Our dear friend Dick Padgett passed away last night, June 22. Dick was a war hero as a B-17 pilot in WWII, and in civilian life loved to fly, teach and tow. He represented many of the great things we love about aviation - professionalism, joy, sharing, teaching and making everyone feel that they could be part of a great adventure. Dick loved Wurtsboro Airport, and Wurtsboro Airport loved him. He will be sorely missed. A "grumpy old guy" with a heart of gold. He loved us and we loved him. Wishing you blue skies and tailwinds my friend. UH

Dick Padgett passed away
Many fond memories of him and his stories when I was flying learning to fly at Wurtsboro as a teenager, a great asset to the sport of aviation.
Is there any information about services for him?

I've only had one flight at Wurtsboro but Dick gave me a tow. I knew then that he was a living legend. Godspeed.
