___ 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).

John “Captain Jack” Albert McCormick Jr.
...Posted on Saturday, 12th March 2016 | Hawaii 


John “Captain Jack” Albert McCormick Jr., of Honolulu, Hawaii passed away on Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at the Straub Clinic and Hospital in Honolulu; he was 89 years old. He was the eldest of three children born to John Albert McCormick Sr. and Sadie Margaret Breining in Los Angeles, California on January 21, 1927. He attended St. Patrick School (Eureka), Judd Memorial High School in Salt Lake City, Utah; then furthered his education at Kapiolani Community College in Honolulu, Hawaii. Although he did not earn a degree, he took specialized aeronautical classes and other classes in astronomy and volcanology. After graduation he began his career as a plane mechanic, piloting a mail carrier plane, charter pilot, and then a commercial airline pilot. He was employed with the airline industry from 1982 and after serving 32 years, he retired as a Captain with both Western and Delta Airlines. He lived in Eureka and Salt Lake City, Utah, Los Angeles and Northridge, California, and finally made Honolulu, Hawaii his home. He was married to Sherma West on July 3, 1947 and they had three daughters. He loved and cherished his family and always made sure that they were cared for. With the exception of the love and affection of his family, John’s learning and pursuing a career to fly was his passion. After retirement, they were interested in learning more about their Hawaiian State. John was raised Catholic. He was involved with ALPA, Silver Eagles, and was a member of the Smithsonian; which involved reunion meetings at varied sites around the country. He enjoyed reading and learning more about space, history, astronomy, biographies, and geography. He also enjoyed listening to popular orchestra music and Frank Sinatra’s “I Did It My Way”. Special friends in his life were Dick Bleue and Bill Lobaugh. He is survived by wife, Sherma W. McCormick; daughters, Barbara M. (Robert) Donley, Michelle M. (Donald) Pratt, and Denise A. McCormick; eight grandchildren, Noele (Todd) Salesky, Michelle Donley, Kathleen Donley, Nicole Donley (Michael Scottibelli), Erin (Pete) Montalvo, Shannon Thompson, Elizabeth (Mike) Eakright and Matthew D. McCormick; eight great-grandchildren, Sophia Scottibelli, Andres Lerea, Jakob Stanek, Josephine Montalvo, Isabelle Montalvo, Nicholas Montalvo, Peter Montalvo and Amelia Eakright. John will be remembered as a persistent, determined, and strong willed man. His catch phrase or quote was “Que Sera Sera”. He will truly be missed by his family and friends. No services were held.
