___ 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).

Howard Warner Stokes, 83, of Los Altos Hills, passed away peacefully on Nov. 6, 2014 after a long illness. He was born July 15, 1931 in Santa Monica, California, the only child of Howard Benjamin Johnstone Stokes and Josephine Warner Stokes. The family lived in West Los Angeles where Warner attended University High School, Santa Monica College and UCLA. After college he joined the Navy, receiving his wings as a U.S. Naval Aviator May 8, 1956. He served on the USS Kearsarge, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, in 1957. In 1959, after the service, Warner joined Western Airlines, which later became Delta Airlines. He was promoted to captain in 1968 and retired in 1991.
 
Warner met Sharon Lee Christopher, and they married in June 1959. The couple lived in Los Angeles, and had three children — two daughters and a son. The family moved to Los Altos Hills in 1969. They became members of the Los Altos Country Club, where Warner was an avid tennis player for many years.
 
He is survived by his ex-wife Sharon Stokes of Los Altos; daughter Shelly Stokes Mogensen and husband Craig Mogensen of Denver, Colo.; daughter Kristy Corah of Granite Bay, Calif; and son Jeffrey Lee Stokes and wife Dianne Stokes of Saratoga, Calif. He is also survived by eight grandchildren, Troy and Jodie Mogensen; Tyler, Ryan, and Morgan Corah; and Travis, Kylie, and Payton Stokes.
 
A private family memorial was held Nov. 7. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to any Armed Services organization.
