Justin ........R.I.P.
It is with a heavy, heavy heart that I must tell everyone that Justin has passed away last Sunday night. [:(] Lynn and I were really blessed to have Justin in our lives. He has been to all of the events that we flew in for the last 5 years but was unable to make Mid-America or the Nats this year. He was always so eager to go when he saw my planes being packed up and I know he truly enjoyed seeing everyone and loved all of the attention that was given to him. Thank you. [:D] He was 9 years, 2 months, and 23 days old. A great life he had [;)]
I don't guess I've met Justin, as it sounds like I would remember if I had. I'm sorry for your lose and pray that God looks over you and Lynn during this time. I'm new here and don't know the whole story, but it sounds like this was not unexpected, but still it can't be easy to lose someone so young. Let's all fly a good round for Justin at our next event as I'm sure he will be watching.
God bless.
God bless.
I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way, but I thought you were talking about a child so I feel a little better. It's still hard to lose a friend like that and for some they feel like our children. I always liked Great Danes but have never had the room for one. I don't think I've met one I didn't like. Big dog with a big heart.

Dave,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Justin was a great looking dog and very well behaved when I met him at the NATS. My lab, Bailey, didn't quite know what to make of him when he saw him just because of Justin's size. A dog's only fault is that they don't live long enough.

You have my prayers too Dave, that is a huge loss.[:(][:(]
What follows is a note I received from Jill, my friend in England and Nats Scorekeeper for the past two years:-
"Jill here, Lightning's friend from the UK.
Dave and Lynn - I am so sad to hear your news but SO pleased I had chance to meet Justin last year at the NATS. You may remember that Justin posed with Badgie, the crazy toy Keith and I were taking around with us so he could have 'adventures' for my daughter-in-law's class of 6 year olds. I'd never met a dog like Justin before - and probably never will. I had heard about him from Keith way before I ever got to the Nats and was looking forward to meeting your lovely gentle giant. I know you have many lovely memories of this special member of your family. I certainly will not forget him.
Take care, from Keith's Jill"
