So sorry Al passed, and glad it was peaceful. My condolences to you, Heidi. You are what family is all about.

That is very sad news. I counted Al as a friend. Since I may be transferred to Hawaii soon I was looking forward to hopping over to Lahaina to raise a glass with him. He was my inspiration to start making historically correct campaigns and I have every one of his works carefully saved.
Blue sky and fair wind All. I will miss you. I think we all here will.
Cheers,
Captain Kurt

So sorry to hear this.

Very sad indeed.
My prayers go out to him, G/F, and family.
A great loss to humanity and the community.
May he rest in peace.
Although he may have left the corporeal world, his legacy will continue on in the virtual one here through his great contributions at the Outhouse.
I, 'The Senior Sim' and 'The Basement' salute you Talon. Godspeed sir!
What an awful way to start a new week....
I could not believe the title of the thread. After Talon's last crisis, reading about his slow recovery gave me the illusion he was going to be better... Please, accept my deepest condolences, Hiede.
This is indeed a bad loss for all of SOH community, Talon's contribution to our common passion for flight and simulated air combat was enormous. His historically accurate mission writing gave us some of the best sensations about how it must have been back then.
His no-nonsense attitude towards other SOH members might have raised an eyebrow or two here, yet I always thought that directness is born of honest minds, while diplomacy, more often than not, hides the real thoughts of a person.
I tend to mistrust 'diplomatic' people, while I appreciate anyone who vents his or her feelings as Talon did so often. I never felt less than comfortable while exchanging comments with Talon and asking for his valuable suggestions.
Talon's heroic behaviour during 09/11 tragedy speaks by itself of his generosity towards his fellow human beings and it's the best confirmation to me that he was a wonderful person.
I have a proposal for SOH: let us dedicate a small page of this website to all who left us and who generously donated their personal effort to improve CFS2 and the other flight sims supported by SOH, Akemi Mizoguchi and Talon.
Let us keep their avatars, like Talon's splendid 'full sail in the wind', and display them in this area, so that their memory is not lost.
You will be sorely missed, Talon. Rest in peace.
May a warm, gentle wind always blow upon your shoulders, may your sailing of flying skies be always sunny and blue, may the Gods hold you in the palm of their hands.

Sad news, my condolences.

Thanks for the news Hiedi albeit sad.
Talon was a tough old bird. I'll always remember that.
He will be sorely missed around here.
God Bless Him.
When his wife passed some years ago he and i communicated frequently as he struggled with the loss. We got to know one another beyond the forums as we worked on several projects together. I have to echo Kelticheart's comments regarding appreciating Talon's no-nonsense attitude and his prowess and passion in mission building. He'll be missed...

Al,
Sorry you're gone buddy, but glad I got to know you when you were here.
Another of the "originals" has left us. Very sad to read this. Let us honor him by never letting the wonderful gifts he shared with our community to be forgotten. It's because of him, and others who share their passion for flight Sim with the rest of us, that we have such a magnificent virtual world in which to fly, and experience it in such an "in your face, this is the way it really happened" manner. Blue skies and fair winds to you Talon. You are not forgotten.
