News with the passing of retired NEA/DL pilot Captain Charles Buford Smith has been received.  Captain Smith was 83 years of age at the time of his passing.  Captain Smith joined Northeast Airlines 08-12-1957 and retired with Delta Air Lines in January 1992.  He was based DFW for much of his career, then PDX at the time of his retirement.  Captain Smith is survived by his wife (F/A) Mary Shutt Smith.  As was Captain Smith's wishes, there were no services.   Online condolences may be shared at https://www.localcremation.com/obituaries-details.php?ID=555

I believe the Smiths had resided at 1718 Pilots Loop, Forestburg TX 76239-3284 .... PO BOX 384, FORESTBURG  TX 76239-0384.... (940) 964-2420  ..  business phone c/o Marshall Smith  (940) 964-2500  ..  but I was not really able to verify the family's contact. 

Should we receive more information we will be sure to post an update on our blogspot.

Thank you,
