Bob was a bush pilot, beat cancer, and a fine man (on top of his military career).

Bob was a bush pilot, beat cancer, and a fine man (on top of his military career).

He was honest to a fault, had the type of character and ethics you can’t teach.

For any CAR, Skyhawks and PPCLI, Andy Hulan has passed away. Andy was a great soldier and better man than most. He had a good sense of humor and a sharp wit.

RIP VP

Just saw a post on FB announing the passing of longtime Army.ca fixture Bossi yesterday. No other details to share right now.

I deployed alongside him twice. He was always professional. Following his retirement from the CAF he was active as a veteran's advocate. I last saw him in person at our local Legion where he gave an excellent presentation about the new generation of vets and how they compare to the old guard.

R.I.P, Mark. You will be missed.
