His best day of the year

My wife's sister and her hubby were visiting a few weeks ago. My Bro In Law, David, asked if I would take a high school friend of his flying, I said sure. His friend Joe Jansen had cancer pretty bad in his neck and jaw.
I took them up on 4-3 for a flight up and down the So Cal coast including a stop at Oceanside airport. I let Joe fly the plane a bit and he seemed to really enjoy it.
Got a call from David two nights ago, Joe died that night, less than 3 weeks after our trip. He told David that flying that day was the highlight of his year and it was the one day he didn't think about being sick.
RIP.....Joe
Joe at Oceanside that day.
