___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

Sad news has reached us that our PHX friend Gary Coppess passed away Friday morning due to heart related issues.  Gary was born/raised in Washington state.  He hired on with Western 01-17-1966 and was based SLC.  Gary is survived by his wife Michelle Jean ‘Jeanie’ and his children Dawn, Robert, Jeffrey, Brandie, and Robin.  Personal condolences may be sent to the family at 13631 N. Bittersweet Way,  Fountain Hills AZ 85268-3618.  I have not seen his obituary yet and arrangements are pending, but we will be sure to pass along that information when it becomes known.
Gary was one of those good guys, a well respected pilot and a good friend to many. 
He will surely be missed!
Thank you,
~ Carol
