There was a time that I read Omni regularly. These days I don't.
When I think of UP, I always think of the song that I hear every so often on the hard rock oldies station. While I didn't always agree with his Omni post, they were certainly entertaining.
Like many posters here, you feel that you know someone, even if you've never met them. I knew of UP's issues. Also his adopted daughter.

Of the things I'll most fondly remember about him, it won't be the OMNI PR stuff; it will be his discussions about his family.
This about sums it up.
Another oldtimer on Flyertalk is gone.
