___ 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).

Obituary :    Robert Paul Gick, a 45-year resident of Warrington, passed away early Saturday morning in his home. He was 76.
Gicker was a devoted husband and dedicated father. He is survived and adored by his loving wife of nearly 50 years, Janet (Porter); his four children, Bob (Jen), Jennifer Stevens (Michael), Dan, and Kevin (Adrienne); and his six grandchildren, Serena, Winston, RJ, Alexis, Ryan, and Greta. He is also survived by three of his four brothers, Harry, Steve, and Joseph. He will be sorely missed by his family as well as by his many friends.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. and raised by his mother, Gicker used athletics to escape the city and went to Ohio Northern University on scholarship, where he played both football and basketball.
After graduating from college, he joined the United States Navy and became a Naval Aviator. Upon leaving the active duty Navy, he was hired by Pan American World Airways where he had the opportunity to travel the world. In 1991 after more than 30 years of active and reserve service, he retired from the Navy as a Captain. He finished his airline career in 1997 after having flown with Pan Am, Falcon Jet and Delta Airlines.
During his retirement, Bob and Janet traveled extensively, visiting their children and grandchildren, spending their summers on the Jersey shore and their winters in Hawaii, where they were married in 1964.
The visitation will be from 10 a.m. to Noon on Monday, Feb. 17 at the Shelly Funeral Home, 1460 Easton Road, Warrington.
