WWII veteran, NC/RC (NWA) Capt. Eugene Russell McAleer

May 11, 1925 ~ December 17, 2014

 

As noted in the recent Air Line Pilot magazine's In Memoriam column, very belated notification with the passing of NWA pilot Captain Eugene Russell McAleer of Addison, Illinois.  Captain McAleer flew for North Central and Republic Airlines.  He was 89 years of age at the time of his passing in December 2014.  Captain McAleer's obituary indicates he is survived by his wife Elizabeth.  Humes Funeral Home of Addison, Illinois was entrusted with arrangements.  

            Thank you,
