twinstar_ca Posted December 29, 2018 Report Posted December 29, 2018 I just recently learned of the passing Nov. 26/18 of Lance Cooper. My sincere condolences to all of his family, especially his son Todd who is still flying at the Canmore base. I had the pleasure of knowing Lance for many years. I am sure he will be deeply missed. 🙁🙁 Quote
Bif Posted December 30, 2018 Report Posted December 30, 2018 Lance was a helluva a character and a type of God to us lowly 100hr tour pilots in Canmore. About as ornery as they come, but under that prickly layer you'd sometimes catch a glimpse of the kind heart inside. He'll be missed for sure. Quote
DGP Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 I only met the guy once and he was showing me his ornery side...I was on the road looking for a job. I had almost 3000 hrs at that time but I was not able to impress him in the least. This was back before they joined up with that bigger outfit from BC. I am sure we know who I mean. I believe he had a brother that was working with him at that time. Sorry it didn't work out . Water under the frig. Quote
Blackmac Posted January 2, 2019 Report Posted January 2, 2019 I met Lance and brother numerous times when doing Audits for Parks Canada, related to search and rescue and checking out Pilots. I don't remember his brother's name, but Lance was an A-1 guy who did'nt beleive in BS. Him and his brother took over the operation from somebody else who was having a rough time. Dave White (Pilot) also lived in Canmore, I worked with him in Sudan. RIP Lance and condolences to family and friends in Canmore. Don McDougall Quote
