For this who know Percy and Rina, I just received the following from Percy:
-----------------------------
Dear Bill,
Rina passed away in her sleep 10 September. She went to sleep at 10 on Monday night and did not wake up Tuesday morning. We were on holiday at the Kruger National Park, it was totally unexpected.
She and I enjoyed visiting with you and were always impressed by how much interest you had in our welfare.
Kind regards
Percy Attfield

They are dear friends from their days living in the States and visits we've had overseas. Such a shock and such a shame.
-
A shame....Rina was a sweetheart and Percy is a really nice guy!
-
I met Percy many times. Our prayers go out for Percy and his family.

Very sorry to hear of this. We met Percy and Rina several years ago when they attended the VSC, and again at the '96 Worlds in Sweden.
Lovely people, both of them.
Condolences to Percy.

Like Mike, I also met Percy and Rina at VSC some years ago...I remember them because they were very, very nice folks.
Very sorry to hear of Rina's passing. My prayers are offered for Percy...

Enjoyed flying with him when he was here in the Denver area....Thoughts and prayers for the former Rocky Mountain Aeromodelers member, and a really nice guy

Very sad news, Rina was a real sweetheart. Rina and Percy were a wonderful couple. I'm sure Percy will be back in Vancouver again to visit his son and daughter-in-law, but Rina's absence will be greatly felt.
Take care Percy.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I liked Rina very much. She was such a lovely lady. She will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to Percy and family in their time of sorrow. This comes as a great sadness.

It has all been said, what more can I add??? :'(

Thank you for all for these wonderful messages. I have also received many many letters of condolences from fellow flyers all over the world and all of them talk of Rina's caring and loving attitude.
People caring makes the unexplainable more bearable. She was not sick, we were on holiday with the Ryans from Colorado who is visiting us. They were absolutely amazing in their support.
It is Gods design that we all will leave this earth at some point and since I loved her so much I am very pleased she did not suffer a long sick bed as many of you on this forum have had to endure.
The control line fraternity is always there for you and it helps a lot to know people are reaching out with love.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Percy,
I am so sorry to hear about Rina's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you!! I am so glad I got to know both of you during your stay in the Denver area, and that we shared some good times flying together.
