NWA Capt. Hans G. Waldenstrom

December 1, 1940 ~ April 23, 2015

 

News has reached us with the passing of RNPA member retired NWA pilot Captain Hans Goran Waldenstrom, age 74.  Captain Waldenstrom joined Northwest Airlines 08-05-1968 and retired with Northwest in 2000.  The Waldenstroms had most recently made their home at 15148 Portside Drive, Fort Myers, FL 33908.  

To view/sign the online guestbook please visit the funeral home website at http://www.bradshawfuneral.com/obituary  Arrangements have been

entrusted to Bradshaw Funeral Home of Stillwater, MN.  Visitation and a memorial service have been scheduled for May 15th at Rockpoint Church in Lake Elmo, Minnesota.  Captain Waldenstrom was widowed in 2010 with the passing of his wife Mary.  Survived by their children, perhaps the best contact for the Waldenstrom family would be c/o daughter Susan at 3427 Maureen Lane, Stillwater  MN 55082-6991  ...  (651) 342-1630.

Should we receive further updates we will be sure to pass along that information.
