___ 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).

PAA/DL Capt William C. 'Bill' Ellis Sr.

~ IN MEMORY ~
PAA/DAL Capt. William 'Bill' Charles Ellis Sr.
July 24, 1944 ~ March 8, 2015
News with the passing of ALPA member retired PAA/DL pilot Captain Bill Ellis has been received, but I've not been able to locate an online obituary to date.  Family tree information tells me that Bill is the son of Hiram F.B. Ellis and Marie Hazzard Ellis who were living in Philadelphia at the time of their marriage in 1938.  Friends tell us that Captain Ellis was a Navy Aviator and after the Navy he flew for Ransome Airlines, which led to Pan American World Airways (hire date with Pan Am 06-10-1987) and his retirement with Delta Air Lines.   I believe he was based 030/LGA.  Captain Ellis is survived by his wife Maureen, their children and grandchildren. 
To the best of my knowledge he had most recently resided at 
 2 Simontown Rd.,  Pemberton, NJ 08068-1938  ...  (609) 894-4252
If you have additional information, please let us know as additions/corrections are always greatly appreciated.
            Thank you,

Bill passed quietly , surrounded by his family. He was stricken with Esophageal Cancer. Bill was a kind and gentle man, while a decorated warrior. Always in good humor and fun to be around. We'll all miss him.
