___ 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..................................

Robert Russell "Bob" Rioux, 72, of Venice, Fla., passed away Thursday, Feb. 4, 2016.

He was born May 29, 1943, in Quincy, Mass., to Henry Charles and Josephine Mae Rioux. He served as a second lieutenant in the National Guard Reserves. He retired as a senior captain with Delta Airlines after 30 years.

While living in Massachusetts, he created a very successful youth hockey league, The Yankee Conference, in Hingham, Mass. That also led him to help write a computer program that automatically scheduled conference games.

Bob was a loving father, husband and grandfather and a wonderful friend to all those who knew him.

He is survived by his wife, Mary Ann; their three sons, David (Diane) Rioux of Medina, Ohio, Brian (Brandy) Rioux of Wilmington, N.C., and Chris Rioux of Venice; as well as his five terrific grandchildren.

Services: A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 18, 
2016, at Kays-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Home, 1935 South Tamiami Trail, Venice. The family will receive friends for an hour prior to the service for a time of visitation. To leave the family your thoughts, memories and condolences on the online guestbook, visit:
