___ 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).

Melbourne Beach, FL
 
Mark A. Mischker, 64, passed away Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Mark was born in Milwaukee, WI on March 8, 1950.
 
He was a Marine Corps Captain in Vietnam, flying C 130 planes. He was a broker for Dean Witter and Senior Vice President of First Interstate Bank in Denver, CO. His greatest joy in life was flying international routes as an Airline Captain for Frontier Airlines, Pan Am and Delta. He was Chairman of the Retirement and Investments Committee for Delta Pilots for many years and was active on the board of the Airline Pilots Association. He enjoyed doing union work for over 20 years.
 
Mark leaves his beloved wife, Sharon, who was his “bride” for 44 years; his sons, Erik Mischker and Ryan Mischker; daughter-in-law, Ann Elise Mischker; his grandchildren, Baeta, Maggie, Grace and Ellie; and his parents, Ralph and Nina Mischker.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Bruce Mischker and sister, Nancy Mischker.
 
With great love, Mark always referred to Sharon as his “bride”. He was “Poppy” to his adored ballerinas, as he called his four granddaughters; he loved being “Poppy”.
 
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of
Where never lark or even eagle flew
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
