Robert Seckold Tribute Video 1951-2013

Hi everyone, Aaron here, one of Robert's (relate2) sons.
Some of you may or may not know that Dad sadly past away on the 14th August 2013 after a short battle with Cancer.
As part of his service we played a tribute video of some of the moments from Dad's life and at the end included some footage of him flying and giving his thoughts on what it felt like for him to hang glide - to look out the window from his 'loungeroom in the air'
Since he was such a prolific poster of his flights to his KZbin channel we thought it would be the perfect place to share this video.
This will be the last post for Relate2 although we will keep his videos up for as long as KZbin will let us.
Take care,
Aaron

I miss his peaceful narration and joy of flight and return here for like minded company as his thoughts are still here.

Hey guys, Aaron here, Rob's son. It's been 12 months today since Dad past and I just wanted to let you know that I do drop by here every now and then and read the comments, it's good to see that people are still enjoying his legacy even after he has gone. btw, one thing I forgot to mention when I first uploaded this video is that if you didn't want to sit through all of our family photos, lol, you can jump to 3:49 where I included one of my favourite clips of Dad's flights. Take care & fly safe. :-)

Hi, I never had the pleasure of knowing Robert but his infectious love for hang gliding has inspired me to take up the sport. His life looks like one well lived which is all any of us can ever hope for. Thanks for celebrating his life in this way, kind regards Glenn

[@WendyJaneNSW]

Just so you know, not a day goes by, still, when Robert does not pop into my consciousness. My heart is always full of love for him and I miss him every day. I try not to think of all the 'could have beens'. Blessings to you, Aaron and Travis.

[@parapensioner2]

Sincere condolences to you, Aaron, and the rest of the family; - as a subscriber to your dad's 'Relate2' channel I had missed notification of any recent Y.T. videos, was devastated to see posting of the sad news of Robert's passing. Always thoroughly enjoyed Robert's videos and his intelligent commentary - he was a great ambassador for the sport and his beloved Stanwell! Fly high, Fly far, old friend.

[@dnick1981]

RIP Robert. Such inspiring man and pilot.

[@dexterdean]

Being a 3 axis pilot in the past I haven't flown for some year's, so I have been thinking about taking up hang gliding. so I come on to KZbin to watch some videos on it and the first one I see is one of Roberts, only to scroll down to the comments and learn of his passing. Not only was I shocked but shattered here is a man I don't even know that touched me with his Inspiration and passion for flying and life. Then coming over to watch this video his love for his family. As the old saying goes only the good die young and Robert you were way to young. R.I.P buddy I hope you have your wings out soaring the clouds above the clouds.

[@Brotherline]

Now it feels weird to watch his extremely old videos

[@mattchristensen8776]

Robert and his videos were a great inspiration to me when I started hang gliding. He and I exchanged numerous PMs about flying and I hoped to someday get the chance to fly Stanwell with him. Fly High Brother!

[@Bobbyflash75]

This makes me so sad. Roberts channel was one of the first hanggliding-channel I subscribed to. He made hang gliding seem so easy and his obligatory "beautiful!" always made me glad. RIP Robert and sorry for your loss Aaron. :/

[@MrLiftHog]

I keep coming back to watch your videos, Robert. So hard to believe you are still not here. You were an inspiration to many, including me.

[@thebrackster]

One of Roberts videos appeared on my time line. December 2019 What an absolute gentleman.

[@CubbyHouseFilms]

Hi Aaron I'm so sorry for your loss. Robert was a great contributor to the Cyberlink forum and I thoroughly enjoyed his valuable banter and logically input. We exchanged many messages over the short time I knew him. Mine to him were "you're mad". Him to me were "so are you for not trying hang gliding!" My sincere condolences to your family, Robert was obviously a very much loved and respected member of the community. A great tribute video - well done. Neil

[@paulsreef27]

I'm sorry for the loss of your father. I loved watching his videos and enjoyed hearing him share his feelings and emotions of each flight. I mentioned to him that he's blessed to live in a beautiful part of the world and that his videos were much appreciated during our cold Canadian winters. He will be missed; take care and thank you for posting. Paul

[@Jutte777]

Thanks Aaron - So sorry for your loss and Condolences to your Family. Always liked your Father's flights and comments. Thanks Robert - (Relate2) - for your flights...it was like I was there ! Clear Air Brother !

[@IANRPARKER]

I subscribed to Rob's Chanel as I admired his relaxed flying with commentary.Such a nice guy you could tell from his voice. My sympathies to family and friends.

[@GlenKimpton]

Ahhh no! just learnt of this now! Been out of the HG loop since the birth of my son. Very sad! Condolences

[@0leandr1]

Sad news... thanks mate for another _beatiful_ movie... I will miss them not coming

[@Neophemacrazy]

So sad.... RIP Robert... Loved your videos and the way you flew!

[@Garfield2142]

I loved watching you while you were down here with us! I hope you have a good time in heaven!

[@malibu188]

Enjoyed many of Roberts videos. Sad news. Condolences to his family and friends.

[@michelvliegt]

What a sad moment, today checked Robert's channel for some inspiration and were shocked to hear he has passed away. I always followed your father's vids because he made a smile on my face watching him...Condolences to the family.

[@martianmuppet]

Very sad news, I just started watching his superb vids as I'm about to start at hang glider school this August. I hope to be thinking of him when I first get my feet off the ground.

[@rlneal100]

Thanks for posting the video. I admired Robert from the first video I watched of him flying. I have enjoyed all his videos and was a subscriber of his. I promised myself that I would visit Austria and fly Stanwell before I get to old to hang glide. I so hoped to meet him in person. I know it must be tough times for your family. You're in our prayers. Richard

[@HGAviator]

Aaron, your fathers hang gliding KZbin channel was one of the first I subscribed to after a 25 year break from hang gliding. I thoroughly enjoyed all his videos and always looked forward to the next one. Robert Seckold, a gentleman's gentleman. My he rest in peace.

[@mvent2009]

Ooohhh man!!!!! what a sad news!!!!! Nothing to say but my Sincere condolences to you and the rest of the family. He will be missed so much.... Always enjoyed Related2's videos and his commentary, they were very instructive... Have a nice flight Robert!!!

[@SchubertDipDab]

Sorry to hear this, Aaron. I'm new to the sport and absolutely love Robert's videos. He's inspiring to watch. What an amazing guy. My sympathies to you all.

[@LegendsRacer37]

Hi Aaron, I lost my mom to cancer and know what you are going through and you and your family have my deepest condolences. I am a new hang glider pilot myself and have greatly enjoyed watching your dad's videos. Thank you for posting this last video, he will be missed. Take care. :-)

[@wrcummings]

I really enjoyed following this channel and when it didn’t put out new videos, years ago, I thought this creator may have aged out of the sport or life itself. Still I’m glad the channel is still up for people to see. He knew how to create good videos.

[@100DJ001]

Thank you for posting this. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss. I subscribed to and always enjoyed his videos. I don't think I've met a more down to earth man who flew the skies. I wish you and your family peace during this difficult time. One day I will get to fly Stanwell and when I do I will think of Relate2.

[@jacksondrake]

Amazingly Inspirational!

[@eenergie]

God will lift him up ...thats for sure

[@horstr]

Very sad to hear! It always hits me hard when I have to find out that the reason no more videos are released by a channel is that the owner is not with us anymore. I'll miss Robert's in-flight commentary, his calm presence. He kept reminding us that life is all about doing what you love by actually going out there and following his passion. I'm thankful for that and will do my best to follow his footsteps in that regard. My most sincere condolences!

[@AAB_A73]

sad... very sad news. Condolences to Aaron and family

[@haddieman]

I'm very sorry to hear this. He seemed like a really cool person and I love his videos. Thanks for posting this.

I want to start hang gliding next year and watch many KZbin vids to learn things. I found this interesting man here with his fancy gloves, helmet and beautiful Malibu.So sad to here the bad news, Aaron. I wanted to ask him a lot of questions.Dirk (Belgium)
