I first met Paul Latorneau when SSI went to Northern Illinois Soaring’s little airport north of Rockford (It is a Fleet Farm now). We brought the tow plane and a couple of gliders for the event and enjoyed the people and the day. Later Paul and a few NISA members joined SSI along with their L-23.
Paul was a quiet spoken guy but always worth listening to. He was willing to roll up his sleeves, pitch in and take on a many responsibilities to keep SSI running. He and wife, Judy, were an important part of Sky Soaring through the years. They spent many a day sitting out front of the hangar door talking flying. Sad to hear of an old friend passing on.
