GONE WEST
MEMBER CENTRAL
Benjamin Morrow
07/3/1940—03/25/2011
BENJAMIN H. MORROW, who served on the EAA Ultralight
& Light-Sport Aircraft Council for 10 years and led the
development of much of EAA’s ultralight training program,
passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday, March
25, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. He was 70.
Ben was extremely dedicated to EAA and the
ultralight community. He and his wife, Joyce, dedicated
many hours volunteering to train ultralight instructors
and traveled around the country conducting ultralight
flight instructor refresher courses. Ben also developed
an online refresher training course and was a frequent
contributor to EAA publications.
After working for 32 years in several positions at
the FAA’s Small Airplane Directorate in Kansas City,
Ben retired in 1996. He went on to work with EAA in
the areas of ultralight, light-sport, and amateur-built
aircraft; aircraft certification; and safety analysis issues.
He received the EAA President’s Award in 2002 for his
service to ultralight aviation.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE invited to post obituaries and sign a memorial
guestbook online for Ben and other EAAers who have “gone west” at
www.EAA.org/obituaries. The names and stories of each person enshrined
on EAA’s Memorial Wall in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, are also available here.
