  4. I met him in 2011 while I was vacationing in Honolulu. I was sitting in Starbucks when this gentleman came in to the coffee shop and sat down beside me. I knew him from some place but couldn't think of where I'd seen him before. He'd been having problems with his lap top and I asked him if I could help. We got to talking and come to find out he was Jet Tarr and had been in Rat Patrol. I ended up spending the entire day in Starbucks just whiling away the hours listening to his stories of Rat Patrol and his idea on a script for the new Hawaii 5-0. Best vacation I ever had! I was very shocked to learn he passed away the following year.

    1. Watched Rat Patrol series when I was a kid and the Combat series and said to myself that's what I want to do when I'm old enough. SF, KP

  5. I'm so sad to learn of Mr TARR's death back in 2012...he was once an employee of mine & he was strong-willed & bull-headed lol :-) he had many stories to tell about anything & everything. I truly miss those days but I'm sure he's in a better place now. RIP sir...
