One of four officer cadets who died when their vehicle plunged into water is being remembered as an outgoing athlete who was proud of the hard work he put in at Canada's Royal Military College.
Andrei Honciu had a special way of making people comfortable and acted like a "well-trained class clown," his high school friend Noah Kim said in an interview.Honciu, 22, was in the vehicle with Jack Hogarth, Broden Murphy and Andres Salek when it entered the waters that border the campus in Kingston, Ont. Each of the men, who were poised to graduate, died early Friday.
Hogarth was in military and strategic studies and hoped to be an officer in an armoured regiment, the Defence Department said. Honciu said it in a proud way, said Kim, who got the sense his friend felt good about meeting the challenges.Kim said he was initially intimidated by Honciu when he met him for the first time in math class as a new student at Northern Secondary School in Toronto, but Honciu took the initiative to break the ice.The pair also enjoyed playing football and soccer together, motivating one another to do better through friendly competition.
