sharkbait Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Don May, former Chief Engineer for Heli Voyageur, passed away in North Bay, Ontario a couple of days ago. A good man - probably having a cold one with Jim Masse in the big hangar in the sky. Goodbye Don - it was great knowing you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewey Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 One of my first mentors during my early days in the helicopter industry. A great man and a solid contributor to the cause. Good bye, Don. Condolences to his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carholme Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Don; I am sure Jim will be waiting with a full glass. Losing too many lately and it probably reflects our age. But what a time we have had! All the best, Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacreous Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sorry to hear that news. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who got their first turbine job with Heli-Voyageur... Sincere condolences to friends and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47G Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Rest in peace Don. http://yourlifemoments.ca/sitepages/obitua...mp;source=North Bay Nugget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 One of the best of the 'old school' of AMEs, Don was irascible a good deal of the time, hiding a heart of gold behind it. Never hesitated to help a pilot understand how wrong he was in his understanding of something, and send him away with 'the gen.' Yeah, he's looking down chuckling with JM. Cheers to them both.
