R.I.P.
Alex McLaughlin
July 23, 1977 - March 20, 2007
A good friend of mine, and of the rocket community, Alex McLaughlin,
was found in his home, he had past away. Alex was well known in the
rocketry community not only because he was a
great person and he was friends with everyone, he had so much enthusiasm for
rocketry! One of Alex's favorite passion was building rockets and making EX
motors. Alex was an AWESOME EX motor builder! He had built many experimental motors. Some worked and
then had a few that
went Buck-Wild. But that was Alex, always trying to make the best motors for
the best shows. His aqua blue flame motors were well known in the rocket
community. He had made some of the best motors on the West Coast, possibly
in the U.S. He will truly be missed in the
rocket community and everywhere else he touched someone's life. Please feel
free to leave a message in my guestbook regarding Alex and any stories or
favorite times you might have spent with Alex.

Party on my good friend, I will miss you!
Rest In Peace Alex
It will be my honor to fly my next rocket in your name!!
My heart goes out to Deb McLaughlin and Alex's whole family.
I
hope with time your heart's may heal.
I will be flying Dreams in Flight at FITS, the flight will be
dedicated in Alex's name. Thank you to Greg Deputy who has
donated the EX motor for the flight and to
Mike Fisher has donated the decals to be put on in honor of Alex.

place.
