As you all know LeRoy Buckley (leroydb) passed away during his 400th BASE jump at Notch Peak last month. As per his wishes he wanted his main ash dive to take place at Raeford in N.C. However Bridge day was mentioned in his last wishes as well and so I am trying to figure out which one of you are giving him a bad ass BASE goodbye. I am unsure if Stitch and the others on the search crew can make it but they get dibs. Anyone who is already registered can you please either post here that you are available or willing to jump in his memory. Also if anyone can get Jason or someone else from Bridgeday in touch with me I would really appreciate it. My email is lisamariekull@gmail.com. Once the bridge is done being jumped for the day join in for a toast to him. I am still unsure if I am able to make it but his girlfriend and son Jayden will be there.

Raeford N.C. Oct 23rd , approx 4 pm an ash dive is planned with a party to follow. I think the jump is full but I could use a good camera man to film it. Greenmachine has offered to edit the videos of his memorials so I want to make sure he gets some good footage to work with. I will definitely be here for this one, as well as Tiffany, Jayden and most of LeRoys family.

Please come help us put our friend, brother, father, son, and solider to rest. Thank you for your time.

You can depend on me if needed. cm321cya@gmail.com

I will be at BD and would like to be involved in some way.

Fly Free LeRoy

Can you email or pm me your number? Ill also have footage for you.

I'm not going to make it. Every time I request time off for something the company I work for think it's a joke and proceed to fuck me as much as possible right before the requested dates.

I suppose I should look at the bright side. At least I'm only out of $ 90 for the slot and not $ 700-1000 + for a non-refundable plane ticket.

Please remember.Anyone who knew Marlen Burford of Fl please be thinking of him at Bridge Day this year.He was also known as the "BANDIT JUMPER"Marlen checked out on a jump in Myrtle Beach in 1988 and is always in my memory.If he was still with us he would be there next Saturday for sure as WV was his home state.Im sure he will be there in spirit looking out for all you jumpers.Love you Marlen,your friend,David
