He also owned the plane in the background. The plane in front was the one he crashed on Father’s Day, not long after this picture was taken. He tried to fly out of a field near our home, and didn’t have enough room to get the altitude he needed. The plane burst into flames upon crashing, and he was burned over 95% of his body. He survived for three days at the Chapel Hill Burn Center. Ginny Elaine Eubanks Born: July 18, 1969 Richard Earl Eubanks Born: February 19, 1966 From baby to teenager to young man to soldier and then a Dad and Granddad too. Seems impossible that time has whisked by and my baby boy is a fine man. I am so proud of all he has become even with all the trials of life he has endured. No mother or dad could be prouder than we are of my baby girl, who now is a mother and grandmother too. Beautiful inside and out.
