The following article is in today's Prescott Daily Courier and contains
some
very nice words by friends and family of Dave:
Dave A. Pelletier
Dave was born on Dec. 22, 1937, and died Nov. 13, 2006. The dates are
only
for the headstone. What he did between those dates is what is important.
Dave had many hobbies and into each one he always put in 100 percent.
He wore many hats during his life. He was a proud retired United States
Air
Force veteran and patriot. After 22 years in service to our country, he
worked at Northrop Aviation on the Stealth B-2 bomber. He was a
professional
musician, per-forming Bluegrass and Old Time Music in the Western states
and
into Canada. His persona of Cousin Homer of Winooski, Vermont, was
enjoyed
by all.
He loved boating, fishing, hunting, motorcycle touring, stamp
collecting,
and was a gatherer of obscure Early American music. Prolific writer of
songs, poems and stories for children, his legacy will continue to give
laughter. He loved kids best and would interact with any group of them
he
would meet.
There was never a dull moment when Dave was around. He lived life to the
fullest every single day. Everyone who knew him was the better for it.
He
died doing what he loved, his passion for flying.

Dave was and always will be a unique person. He has touched many souls
in
his short stay we shared with him on planet earth. To the person who
served
him his favorite meal (breakfast) to playing games with the
grandchildren,
Grandpa Dave was always on stage and experiencing life. Dave's six
grandkids
never had any down time =AD Grandpa time was always soaring high with
silly
jokes and magic tricks. There were no limits to Dave's antics =AD not
even
Grandpa Dave's glass eye. I was privileged to know Dave for 24 years,
and I
will try to share my experiences with my kids on a daily basis, no
matter
how small it may seem. Our world is a lot of small blessings bound into
a
wonderful ball of loving life.

The recent loss of Dave Pelletier extends beyond his family and local
community; his presence extended much further. Dave drew his energy from
the
smiles and excitement of others. That was his fuel that inspired his
gift.
He chose hobbies that would involve others, whether he was plucking his
banjo or flying his plane. Dave enjoyed going to festivals and
volunteering
to entertain the attendees, especially the young and impressionable.
While
at a festival and trying to find Dave, we would just look for the group
of
laughing kids and Dave would be in the middle of them.
Dave's first plane was a single-seater. He quickly realized he needed
another seat to share his love of flying. Fortunately, Dave's
grandchildren
and dozens of others were able to experience the joy of flight in his
light
aircraft.
He will be greatly missed.

Good-bye, my love =8B soar with the eagles. You are the love of my life.

Embry-Riddle Campus at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2006.
Final Internment will take place at 2 p.m. on Dec. 22, 2006, at
Arlington
National Memorial Cemetery in Virginia. In lieu of flowers, donations

arrangements.
Best Regards,
Bob Thompson (no relation to George)

Group,
I believe that I solved the problem. It was the battery. After doing a lot of checking,
I discovered that the size battery that I have been using was less than
recommended. The 503 manual said 13 AmpHr minimum and I was using a 9 AmpHr.
So, I bought a 16 AmpHr battery and installed it today. Now, when I turn the
key, it starts immediately.
