___ 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).

Steve Arps, retired Delta pilot will be buried at Miramar National Cemetery in San Diego, CA.  Graveside service will be at 1030, 17 June, 2013.  Friends, co-workers and fellow Marines welcome.
 
Notification of the passing of Marine Corps veteran and retired WA/DL pilot Captain Stephen George Arps, age 67. Captain Arps hired on with Western 07-05-1977. His obituary notes that he retired with Delta in 2008. I believe he was based LAX and ATL for much of his career.

Captain Arps had most recently resided at
4034 County Road Hj , Delta OH 43515-9792
Captain Arps is survived by his mother Lorena who celebrated her 101st birthday last December 28, 2012.... DOB 12-28-1911. Perhaps the best contact for the family would be c/o brother Phillip Arps,
4021 County Road Hj , Delta OH 43515-9792 ... (419) 822-5551
Arrangements are not known.
Thank you,
~ Carol
