I had the pleasure of skydiving with Steve at Gold Coast Skydivers in Lumberton. He was a great guy and would do anything to help anyone out. He was also a great Dad to Harley, his daughter. He will be greatly missed.

My thoughts are with the Mosley and Davis families during this sad time. Gerry was a good guy and loved flying every chance he could get.
