Dear Thorp friends, Dean Cochran, builder/owner of N11DC, passed away peacefully last night. My hangar-mate and best friend, he kept his wonderful sense of humor to the end. He was a true gentleman and friend to all. Dean designed & built many hundreds of stainless steel exhaust systems for the T-18, and other aircraft, when there just wasn't anything like it available for us. I can't even begin to tell of all his contributions to the Thorp community, and sport aviation in the Denver area. He taught me just about everything I know about the T-18, and a lot about life, and for almost 40 years we shared a love for this wonderful airplane. I'll miss him terribly.

Sorry to hear about Dean, It's good to know guys like Dean have been around. John, I guess it's our turn to follow his example. I'm sure he'll be missed. We all need to keep in touch. The forum has been good for me. Les |

John, I was sadden to read your e-mail about the passing of Dean. We met in April of "76 and have been good friends ever since. I agree, the T-18 community lost one of its best! Steve Hawley *** admin posted for Steve Hawley *** |
