Thank you for keeping him busy!

He did and his willingness to help others is what helped make FT what is has become and serves as a positive example for us all.

I'll shift this thread over to the "Community" forum as your father was definitely a member who helped shape this online community. Please accept my condolences on your loss.

I'm very sad to read this news and am sorry for all of us who loved the company and tipcs from Clacko here on FlyerTalk.

FlyerTalk will be missing a fantastic Mileage Run ambassador and friend.

Thanks for letting us know, Carol.

There is another thread here on the AA forum, these threads may soon be merged.
