General Discussion / Larry 'Grandpa Pettibone' Shannon
« on: June 15, 2010, 10:56:43 PM »
It is with great sadness that we inform all vZID members and fellow members of VATSIM of the sudden and tragic loss of ZID's own Lawrence 'Grandpa Pettibone' Shannon on May 24, 2010. Larry will be missed and remembered fondly by all members of ZID who had the distinct honor and privilege of knowing Larry.
For those who did not know Larry, perhaps you caught him while flying in or out of ZID. He also flew frequently online and enjoyed the network greatly. Larry was a retired real world pilot for American Airlines and taught many of us at ZID a great deal.
I, and I am sure all members of ZID, send our prayers and sympathies to Larry's family.
God speed Larry, you will be missed.
