Quite frankly, this stinks. As someone who also recently lost a dear friend, I'd be horrified to see people doing something like this with a tribute page to him.

Sorry that this added to your grief.

The sticker you gave me, that has a tribute to your dad, is proudly displayed on my clipboard. Every time that I look at it, I think about his legacy.

Airplanes look cool from above.
I got hit twice from flying debri (one a paper airplane and another a small frisbee) and it HURTS.

Hard to stop it from happening, but perhaps more people can just keep politely letting people know to not do it, and maybe it'll lesson. (Just like yelling a certain word at competition as you walk through the pits...)
