~ IN MEMORY ~
RW/NWA  Capt. Dwight R. Sissell
March 3, 1943 ~ June 25, 2015
Word has been received with the passing of retired pilot Captain Dwight Roger Sissell, age 72.  Information is limited but I believe Captain Sissell was born/raised in California.  He may have first flown for Bonanza which became AirWest/Hughes Airwest and would have retired with Northwest Airlines.  Survived by his wife Roxanne personal condolences may be sent to
100 SUNRISE CLIFFS CT.,  SEDONA, AZ  86336-3400 .... (928) 282-4387
Additional information and/or corrections are always appreciated....please do let us know so that we can update our memorial site.
            Thank you,
