___ 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).

Obituary...................
Mario John Peruzzi, 87, of Peachtree City, GA passed away on March 26, 2015. He was born, raised, and schooled in New York, borough of Queens. He joined the Navy for the duration of World War II where he was trained in NY, and then at the GA Naval Air Station, as an Air Traffic Controller. He was sent to San Francisco, CA in 1945 to be shipped to the Pacific. This was right before the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and the war ended. He stayed in the Navy for the duration of the year. Two years later Mario joined the NY Army National Guard, where he became a Lieutenant. He also worked at Sperry Gyroscope on Long Island during that time while taking flying lessons to receive his commercial pilot's license. Delta Airlines hired him in fall of 1956, and he reluctantly retired at age 60, in 1987, flying the International Routes as Captain on the L-1011. Mario is Survived by his wife of 58 years, Jean Stoecker Peruzzi; sons, Mario Jr., Scott, Kyle, and Christopher; grandchildren, Jason (Amanda), Anjelica, Stefan, and Alyssa. He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Matilda Peruzzi.
The family will hold a private Celebration of Life Service at a future date.
