My cousin, who works for United Space Alliance in the Space Shuttle Crew/EVA section, is in a coma in a Houston hospital after a massive heart attack. This gentleman, at the young age of 61 goes back to the Gemini/Apollo days of our space program. He actually suited and inserted Gus Grissom and Ed White into the Apollo One spacecraft the day they died.I ask you for your prayers for this mountain of a kind, gentle man. Thanks. |

Our condolences as well, but he certainly had an interesting and exciting life as one of the prime participates from the Gemini/Apollo/Shuttle eras. May he rest in peace and our Lord be with his family during this difficult time. God Bless you all. |

Ken H. here again. Let me recommend, in case you might be interested, that your cousin's name be a living memorial as part of The U.S. Space Walk of Fame's recognition of Gemini and Apollo workers here in Titusville, FL, as a tribute to his aerospace career. If you would like more information on this, please, I'll be happy to put a brochure in the mail to you. |
