Mark Vivell passed away on June 15. Mark was a tow pilot who flew Blue Sky. I worked with Mark at Northrop Grumman. He retired this year and was starting to enjoy life, getting back into bicycling and kayaking. Mark was a friend and good guy. I'll miss him.

Re: Sad News
Hi Dave, Very sorry to hear the sad news about your friend Mark Vivell passing away just after his retirement started. Thanks for sharing your memories how he got to share the sky with you. I understand that being a good tug pilot take special skills. Lost touch with you thru email... I'll follow up ASAP.
Re: Sad News
Just after retiring? That simply isn't right, very sorry to hear about this Dave. I crossed paths with Mark a time or two... Condolences to you and to Mark's friends and family.

Re: Sad News
By ‘row pilot’ I meant that Mark only flew the tow parks and didn’t foot launch. Sorry for the confusion. And yeah, it sucks to work 35+ years, then die right after retiring.
