~ IN MEMORY ~

NEA/DL Capt. Richard 'Dick' L. Spinney

February 23, 1944 ~ November 1, 2014

 

Belated notification (as was noted in the recent ALPA magazine) with the passing of retired NEA/DL pilot Captain Richard 'Dick' Lloyd Spinney, age 70.  I was not able to find an online obituary but believe he was born/raised in the Boston area, and was the son of NEA pilot Lloyd H. Spinney who passed in 1983.  Dick graduated from Winthrop Senior High School with the class of '61.  He joined Northeast Airlines 10-04-1965, retired with Delta Air Lines with 35+ years of service, and was based Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and ATL/031.  Dick was widowed in May 2004 with the passing of his wife Diane Edmonds Spinney (obit below). 

Captain Spinney had most recently resided at 6508 Miami Lakes Dr E, Miami Lakes  FL 33014-2755  ...  (978) 661-9070.

Beal & Ames Funeral Home of Hyannis MA was entrusted with arrangements.

Should we receive more information we will be sure to update our memorial site.  Corrections and additional information are always appreciated.

Thank you,

~ Carol for the PCN
