From TOS - posted by Michael Benno, from the Portland area:
Today we had a 928 meet up here in Portland where we learned the awful and terrible news that Nate Lachendro (GT6ixer) passed away unexpectedly on Friday. Nate was Engineering Program Manager at Raisbeck Engineering and was doing his job as an experimental flight test engineer when his test plane crashed. He is survived by his pregnant wife and young son, as well as his friends and the support from the 928 cormmunitity. Many of us like have been honored to have met and become friends with Nate, many more than myself. I'm devastated. I can only imagine those closer to him with will feel an even greater loss. I appreciate Nate's longtime friend Matt, and fellow 928 owner making the long trip from Seattle to Portland today to share this sad news and celebrate Nate with us. Matt, thank you, I felt I should share something with the 928 community since Nate has contributed much.
This is terrible news. Fuck. I have known Nate through this community for a long time. He is originally from Pittsburgh, and his family is still here (parents, sister). He has been back a couple of times and I have gotten to enjoy real live time with him. I cannot believe this. Nobody was a bigger ambassador for the 84 shark than Nate.
My heart goes out to his family. RIP Nate.
