...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.

Obituary................
Walker Jeter Hester, 59, a beloved father, son, brother, Veteran Naval Aviator, and devout Christian, passed away in an accident while test-flying his newest airplane. Born in New England but a true son of the south, he graduated from Germantown High School in 1974. After completing a degree in Journalism at the University of Memphis, he served in the United States Navy as a Naval Aviator, call sign "Boxer." Following an honorable discharge in 1987, he joined Delta Airlines as a First Officer, progressing rapidly to Captain. Walker's greatest passions were his work in evangelical prison ministries, cheering on the University of Tennessee Volunteers, and traveling to Charleston, SC to spend time with his beloved daughter, Laine. A daredevil at heart, Walker pursued adrenaline pumping adventures from aerial-acrobatics, to motorcycle racing, to powered paragliding. Mourning his loss are his daughter, Laine Hester, stepmother, Deborah Hester Harrison, siblings, Sullivan Hester (Shea) and J Ross Hester, extended family, as well as many friends from his worldly travels. We celebrate his life as he is welcomed into the Kingdom of God and is joyously reunited with loved ones. The service will be held on April 1 at Riverside Chapel at Memorial Park, Memphis, TN. There will also be a celebration of life held in Atlanta, GA on April 2. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Wings of the Morning special event fund at Bill Glass Behind the Walls.

Pilot identified in fatal Cheraw plane crash


Officials have now identified a pilot killed when his homebuilt aircraft crashed in a Chesterfield County swamp Thursday.
The county Coroner’s Office said 59-year-old Walker Jeter is an Atlanta, Ga., native who was the only person aboard the experimental Rocket II plane at the time. Chesterfield County Sheriff Jay Brooks told reporters that some nearby farmers saw the plane go down around 10:15 a.m. Thursday, but it required an aerial search to find the wreckage in the dense swamp of the Pee Dee River.
“With the help of a helicopter, some debris was found right on the Pee Dee in some of the thickest swamp in the county,” Brooks said during a press conference Thursday. “The plane was located a couple hours later.”
A team from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are on-scene investigating the crash, but the sheriff warned it will be difficult to remove the wreckage from the swamp.
“The plane was upside-down and it took a while even after we reached the site to get the pilot out,” Brooks said.
An autopsy is scheduled for Jeter’s body Thursday morning.

James W. Stahlke, age 66, passed away Mar. 14 at his beloved second home in Panama City Beach, Florida after a 3 year battle with neuro-endocrine pancreatic cancer. He fought the good fight for so long, never complaining. Jim was raised in Delano, MN. He graduated from DHS in '67 where he's been described as the "pillar of their class". He went on to the Air Force Academy but decided to return to the U of M where he received his business degree from the Carlson School of Business. During college he joined the Air Force as a medic. After college he went on to officer training school and was on active duty for six years. He flew the C-141 during the Vietnam war flying refugees to the U.S. and received the Air Medal. He was later assigned to Presidental Support flying to embassies around the world. He retired from the Air Force Reserves after 20 years as a Major. His father instilled in him the love of flying and he made his first solo flight at the age of 16. He was hired in 1979 by North Central and ended his career as a 767/777 Captain for Delta. When asked how he liked his job his response was "It's better than working for a living!" He loved his career. He relished learning, reading historical books and was a WWII buff. He enjoyed golfing with his friends and two boys, going to San Diego to see his daughter and grandchildren, spending time with Kay's family at the mountain cabin in Idaho, spending time together on Lake Minnetonka, and traveling with his family all over the world. Jim is survived by his wife Kay of 28 years, married March 19, 1988 in Boise Idaho. His daughter Tina, grandchildren Pierce and Rachel, sons Ben and Matt. Brother Steve-Sue, sister Julie Bernick-Mel, and sister Beth Logsdon-Len. Nieces and nephews and 8 great nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his parents Dwain and Ruth Stahlke. He lived the past 29 years in Mound and was proud to be part of such a wonderful community. The common thread in people's comments is His smile lit up a room, he was a mentor to many, and the nicest most thoughtful man. A celebration of his life will be held Wednesday, March 23 at 11:00 am with a luncheon to follow, Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 301 County Road 19, Excelsior, MN 55331.

He graduated from Roy Miller High in 1960 then attended SMU and the University of North Texas, where he graduated in 1964. While at North Texas, he was President of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
 
Immediately after graduation, Doug joined the Navy as an officer candidate and began to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a pilot. While on a short leave from the Navy, Doug married his college sweetheart, Martha Sue Ellis, on December 20, 1964 in Dallas, TX. While in the Navy, during the Vietnam War, he served two tours on the aircraft carrier USS Kearsage, based in Coronado, CA. The Navy life took them to many states, including Florida, California and Texas. After the Navy, Doug began his career as an airline pilot with Delta airlines and, after living in Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas, Doug, Sue, Jeff, who was born in California and Maren, born in Dallas, settled in Sherman.

He loved books and history, compiling a large library with special fondness for Lincoln, Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt, yet developed a recent enthusiasm for the Longmire stories and Dan Silva. Doug had a succession of beloved Labrador Retrievers and designed two homes, with a real regret that he could live in the current home such a short time. He had a passion for learning and had a wealth of knowledge on just about any subject.

Ray Gene Piland
July 13, 1941 ~ March 1, 2016
Our best friend and a husband of 52 years passed away on March 1 in Park City, Utah....Ray Gene Piland.
Gene Piland, was born in Dallas to William L. (Dick) and Mary Followell Piland.  He graduated from Texas Christian University in May 1964.  While at TCU he met the love of his life, Jacquelyn Gregory and they married in August 1963.  Their Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers continue to be best friends and meet on a regular basis.
After college, Gene attended Air Force pilot training at Big Spring, Texas.  Upon graduation he became an instructor pilot and continued to train pilots on the T-38 aircraft for the duration of his time in the service.  His pilot training class is still close and meets regularly.  Gene achieved the rank of Captain in the Air Force.  After joining Western Airlines, it would be a while before anyone called him "Captain" again.
Gene was the consummate gentleman.  He was funny and sincere and always seemed to know just what to say to make everyone laugh and relax.  When he was not at work flying for Western or Delta, Gene and Jackie spent most of the last thirty years in Park City where they always seemed to have a beautiful house filled with happy, well-fed people.  Friends who played bridge with him wondered how he managed to win so often.  Gene played bridge by rules known only to hm.  He was just one of those resilient guys who seemed to know how to push past whatever life threw at him, without ever taking himself too seriously.
He loved to fly fish, play bridge, travel and hose the neighborhood 4th of July party.  In 2002, he served as an Olympic Host.  After he retired from Delta Air Lines, Gene was a member of Kiwanis Club, serving as Park City Kiwanis President, 2003-2004 and Lieutenant Governor 2006-2008.  He worked to establish a High School Key Club and participated in many other community endeavors.
Gene is survived by his wife Jackie of Park City, his brother Don Piland and sister-in-law Susan Piland, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews.
