Vaughan was interested in aviation from a very young age. After completing the Aviation course at Canadore College he was thrilled to be hired by Air Canada.

He has now bid us an earthly " Aloha " and is now resting in a greater tranquil place, than his favourite " Big Island " paradise . It was always a pleasure to share time with Vaughan on his days off work or while on vacation.
