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
