Obituary…………………. for Robert “Bob” Matta
Robert Michael Matta, of Northfield, passed away on July 18, 2019 at the age of 86.  Bob was born on the family truck farm in what is now Brooklyn Center, Minnesota on August 4, 1932.  He was the sixth and youngest child of Slovak immigrants, Mike and Anna (Humenik) Matta, and the baby brother of five doting, older sisters who ranged in age between 8 and 18 years his senior.  According to oft-told family lore, when Bob was born his father was so excited to finally have a son that he literally skipped across the fields to the neighbors yelling “It’s a boy!  It’s a boy!” in his native Slovak.  Yes, Bob was spoiled!
It wasn’t too many years later that the family decided to give up truck farming and moved back to Minneapolis into a home they’d purchased in the “Seven Corners” neighborhood near Augsburg College.  At home and with friends, Bob’s family spoke only Slovak. Even the family’s church was Slovakian and thus Bob was confirmed in Slovak with his Slovak Bible.  It wasn’t until he started 1st grade that he learned English.
Despite having little money, especially after his father passed away when Bob was only 14, Bob had a wonderful childhood.  His was an exceedingly close, crazy and fun-loving family— but the good kind of close, crazy and fun-loving.  His sisters married wonderful men who readily stepped in after Bob’s father passed, helping to raise Bob and, most of the time, setting good examples and providing wise counsel for Bob.  The large family often shared multi-generational housing, something Bob & Marilyn happily continued when Bob’s mother lived with them for 14 years.  With the Mattas, family was always welcome, an invitation was never required, and another place could always be set at the dinner table!
Bob graduated from South High School in 1950.  He attended the University of Minnesota for two years (intending to be a dentist) before joining the U.S. Navy just two days before the Army called to inform him he was being drafted.  Bob trained to be an aircraft carrier pilot and served on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Korea.  Following four years of active duty Bob received his first honorable discharge in 1956.  He returned to Minneapolis and, on December 15, 1956, married Marilyn Paul at St. James Lutheran Church in Minneapolis.
During the mid-1950s, Bob also began a career as a commercial pilot at United Airlines, later flying for Western Airlines and, finally, Northwest Airlines.  In the late 50s and early 60s, Bob was caught up in layoffs, and, in 1962, he returned to active duty with the Navy as a transport pilot, evacuating wounded soldiers from Vietnam among many other duties.  In 1965, upon his second honorable discharge from active duty, he returned to the Naval Reserves and to Northwest Airlines.  All told, Bob spent 23 years in the Navy (7 years active duty) and retired in 1975 as a Navy Captain.   While at Northwest Airlines, although Bob held various positions in the Training Department and as the Director of Flight Training, at heart he was first and foremost a “Line Pilot.”  He retired from Northwest in 1992 after 33 years.
Due to Bob’s Navy and airline careers, Bob and Marilyn made their home in many places around the United States and Japan before finally settling down in 1976 on an old, circa 1873 farm west of Northfield.  It was there that Bob began his 3rd career as a grain farmer, tending 176 acres of tillable land.  After 20+ years in the fields, Bob retired from active farming.
Bob adored his wife, Marilyn, as well as their four children, eight grandchildren and their great-grandson.  He loved flying; farm life; rebuilding and restoring classic cars; dancing, entertaining and traveling with Marilyn; winters in Tucson, AZ; and his fun-loving and close-knit extended family and friends.  He was a long-time member of St. John’s Lutheran Church.  Bob never turned down a party invitation, a second helping, or a dance with his wife.  He told a fabulous story and loved to laugh.
Bob is survived by his wife of 62 years, Marilyn; their daughters Lori (Abraham) Middeldorp, Lynn Matta, Michele (Nathan) Knutson; son Bryan Matta; eight grandchildren: Katerina (Dave Flynn) and Alexandra Middeldorp; Matthew, Will, Seth and Genevieve Knutson; Doug (Ashley Sodergren) and Robert Matta; one great-grandson, Dominic Matta; and many dear relatives and friends.  He was preceded in death by his parents, sisters and their husbands:  Mary & Joe Hudak; Ann & George Mital; Helen & Tony Smentek; Dorothy & Einar Mattson; and Millie & Norm Hansen.
If desired, memorials are preferred to Laura Baker Services Association, Epic Enterprise, or St. John’s Lutheran Church, all of Northfield.

July 12, 1946 - June 24, 2019


Word has reached our group with the passing of retired Western/Delta pilot Captain David T. Kerr, age 72.  Captain Kerr joined Western Airlines 11-27-1978 and retired with Delta Air Lines.  Widowed a year ago with the passing of his wife Evelyn, Captain Kerr is survived by their grandchildren and many other family members and friends.

Obituary…………….David Kerr of Castleton, VA, a devoted husband, father, pilot and friend, made his final landing on Monday, June 24, 2019. He concluded his journey the same way he had traveled it: shaped by faith, surrounded by family, marked by good humor, and committed to life itself, without surrender. He was 72.

Throughout his life, David demonstrated the pilot’s ability to be present in each moment while also having limitless horizons. Born into a missionary family on July 12, 1946, he traveled globally, living and working in the West Indies, Barbados, Guyana, and India. Through these travels and years at Kodaikanal International School in Tamil Nadu, India, David developed his passions for people, culture, travel, cuisine, and a good story. He learned to love the Maker, and everything He made.

His family returned to the West Coast where he graduated from Fremont High School and then from Warner Pacific College, with a B.A. in Biological Sciences. Upon graduation, David enlisted in the U.S. Navy to pursue his interest in aviation. He was commissioned in 1968, earned his Wings of Gold in 1969, and served through 1972.

David once described aviation as a tapestry of ability, technology, and romance and said he relished the range of perspectives it provided. These attributes defined his life. He met Evelyn Marie Everhart, a flight attendant, in September of 1973. They were married on June 7, 1975. Together they continued to explore and share the world with their family, in part through David’s long career as a Captain with Delta Airlines. He remained active until the end, working on advances in aviation technology as a contractor to the Federal Aviation Administration.

When on the ground, David cherished spending time with his grandchildren, reading, running, hiking the trails of Rappahannock with his beloved dog Emmie, and refueling on the beaches of the Outer Banks. He and Evelyn were early parishioners of St. Peter Catholic Church in Amissville, VA and ushers and frequent patrons of the Castleton Festival.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Aaron and Kathryn Kerr, and his wife, Evelyn. He is survived by his brother Philip and three children (Christopher Matthew and his wife Diana of Ashburn, VA; CariAnne and her husband Daryl Kreml of Sudbury, MA; and Keirsten Davena and her husband Paul Brown of Amissville, VA). He was the proud Pop Pop to eleven grandchildren.

David loved life and wanted it for others. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org), P.O. Box 22478 Oklahoma City, OK 73123.

A visitation will be Sunday, June 30, 2019 from 6-8pm at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton, VA (540-347-3431). A Funeral Mass will take place Monday, July 1, at 10:30am with a burial and reception to follow at St. Peter Catholic Church, 12762 Lee Hwy, Washington, VA. On-line condolences can be made at moserfuneralhome.com

Evelyn Marie Kerr
September 9, 1946 - June 1, 2018
Born in Baltimore, Maryland
Resided in Castleton, Virginia
………………….A deep love of the good things in life came from her love of life itself, and devotion to its Maker. Baptized Evelyn Marie, the daughter of Virgil and Elinor Triplett Everhart, she would go on to be an early parishioner of St. Peter Catholic Church in Washington, VA where she taught religious education. She was the wife of David Kerr from June 7, 1975 until her death, and the mother of three children (Christopher Matthew and his wife Diana of Ashburn, VA; CariAnne and her husband Daryl Kreml of Sudbury, MA; and Keirsten Davena and her husband Paul Brown of Amissville, VA). She was the proud grandmother of eleven grandchildren…………………………………

Obituary.....................
Paul Andrew Emanuel was born in Tokyo, Japan on April 11, 1951, the second child of Baptist missionaries Bill and Rebekah Sue Emanuel. Raised in Japan and the Philippines, Paul received appointments to the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, ultimately choosing to attend the former because of his lifelong love of flying.

After graduating from the Air Force Academy and completing pilot training, Paul requested to be stationed anywhere but Japan, as he had been raised there and wanted to see other parts of the United States or the world – so, naturally, his first duty station was Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. Fortunately, the Lord knew what He was doing there: while at Kadena, Paul flew C-130s with the 33rd Rescue Squadron and met his future wife, Katharine (Gail) Fosback, who was also stationed on Okinawa as an elementary school teacher for the Department of Defense. Paul and Gail were married on July 8, 1978, and by 1987 they had four sons: Jeff, James, John, and Joe.

A member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and a die-hard Oklahoma Sooners football fan, Paul temporarily left active duty in 1980 to complete a Master’s Degree in Computer Science at the University of Oklahoma. He served four more years on active duty as a C-130 instructor before leaving the military in 1987, moving to Georgia, and becoming a commercial pilot with Delta Air Lines, where he retired as a captain in April 2016.

Paul’s passions included college football, math, and whatever his children were interested in. An avid runner and community member, he was a member of the Peachtree City Running Club’s “1,000 Mile Club,” a frequent patron of Peachtree City’s many tennis courts, and a longtime member of Grace Church in Fayetteville.


Paul was diagnosed with ALS in 2017, and passed away due to complications from the disease on July 22, 2019, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and siblings.

A celebration of life will be held at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, July 28, at Grace Church, 164 Flat Creek Trail, Fayetteville, Ga.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ALS Association of Georgia (http://bit.ly/ALS-GA).

Obituary:  Ernestine Stewart
Marion Ernestine Stewart, age 94, passed away comfortably in her sleep in Roswell, Georgia on Sunday June 9, 2019.  She was born on August 30, 1924 in Blytheville, Arkansas to Ernest and Tina Mae Lyons Halsell. She often jokingly described the location as “Behind Flakes Fruit Stand”. But Ern was no Flake!  Raised in Blytheville she would grow to become a spirited, devoted, loyal and loving Daughter, Wife and Mother.
 
Her parents founded the Rustic Inn in Blytheville and with great success established the go-to place for outstanding Pork Barbeque, a family tradition which was to continue through the years even to this day at the famous Dixie Pig Restaurant. During her school years at Blytheville High school she was the head majorette of the Blytheville Band and worked in the family business where she often recalled barking out “Two pigs and a Coke!”.  Over the years and in supporting her family with the many Georgia baseball teams, Ernestine was loved and known by the teams, their families and her grandchildren affectionately as “Memaw”, a title she was very proud of. She also reportedly learned the art of “Hog Smooches”, which she frequently administered to flinching children and grandchildren (sorry Nelson). Still she was loved by all.
 
In 1943, Ern entered Lindenwood College, but soon opted for matrimony in 1944 to her U.S.  Army Corps and future Delta Air Lines Pilot, Captain Ed Stewart, who prematurely left this life in 1988.  “Aunt Ern” as so many friends and family fondly called her, established roots with her loving husband Ed in Blytheville, Arkansas, Memphis, Tennessee and finally Atlanta, Georgia, all the while raising their three sons; Ron, Don and John.
 
Sadly, over the years, her beloved parents; husband of 44 years, Ed Stewart; brothers, Melvin, Roy and Buddy Halsell; and sister, Annie Lee Halsell Scrape, preceded her in death.
 
Ern’s children, Ron and Carol Stewart of Scottsdale, Arizona, Don Stewart of Marietta, Georgia, John and Lindsay Stewart of Peachtree Corner, Georgia; brother, Johnny Halsell of Little Rock, Arkansas; grandchildren, Kristie Nolen of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Andrew and Mary -Ann Maloney Stewart of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Stephanie Stewart of Tucson, Arizona and Nelson Stewart of Peachtree Corners, Georgia; four great-grandchildren, Maddie Nolen, Blake Nolen, Griffin Stewart and Cooper Stewart and numerous nieces, nephews and friends all survive her.
 
A celebration of her wonderful life will be held Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. in the Cobb Funeral Home Chapel, 603 West Main Street, Blytheville, Arkansas, 72315 with the Rev. Mike Wey officiating. Burial will follow in Elmwood Cemetery. Although there will be no formal visitation, there will be a gathering of friends and family to remember her Friday evening, June 14th from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. at the Dixie Pig in Blytheville.  If able to attend please bring a smile and a funny story or two to celebrate the life of this special lady.

Obituary:  Clarence Jacob Dieter, 80, died Tuesday, July 9, 2019 in his home in St. Augustine after a fierce battle with multiple myeloma. Family and friends knew him as either Sonny, Dee, or Jake. He leaves his wife of 46 years, Alexandra (Boggs) Dieter; his daughters, Jennifer Dieter, Michelle Brandt, and Margaret Hoffman; two sisters, Patricia Iannaci and Irene Huey; seven grandchildren; and many close family and friends. Born and raised in Dexter, Missouri, Jake was the son of Lillian (Litzler) Dieter and Clarence Jacob Dieter, who died two months before his birth. He was educated in a one-room schoolhouse through the 8th grade and graduated from Southern Illinois University in 1961 with a degree in Sociology. He then went on to join the Navy where he trained as a pilot and flew sea planes during the Vietnam War. After 5 years in the Navy, he went to work for Pan American Airlines. It was at Pan Am where he met his wife, Alix, a Flight Attendant for the airline. Jake flew for Pan Am for 25 years and eventually retired from Delta Airlines in 2000. Jake had a deep love of family, fishing, playing bridge, building rock walls, and playing softball. Last fall, his team won the 80+ bracket at the World Championship in Las Vegas where Jake was named tournament MVP. He was still playing senior softball earlier this year. He lived life to the fullest and always maintained a positive outlook. Jake was the first to lend a hand in any situation.

Obituary:  Maurice “Morie” Turner Legare, was the only child of missionary parents, the Reverend Maurice B.S. Legare, and Katherine Veronica (Turner) Legare. He was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but lived in Stockton, California for his early through high school years, where his father started and was head pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church. He had many memories of the vibrant Filipino community in which he lived and worked, and which nurtured him to adulthood. The Legare Family contribution to the Stockton Christian community and the Trinity Presbyterian Church was honored in the church’s 65th anniversary dedication of the Legare Chapel within the church.
 
Morie attended Whitworth College, Spokane, Washington, where he participated heavily in the Young Life ministry, and excelled in sports and academia, graduating in 1955.  After graduation from Whitworth, he joined the U.S. Navy, went to flight school, and became a Naval Aviator. He was a combat helicopter pilot in Vietnam, and in 1966, was appointed Officer in Charge of Search and Rescue Detachment 5, and flew missions from the USS King (DLG-51). He and his men (dubbed “Legare’s Bears”) participated in many heroic rescues, but one memory he often shared was when he and his crew made two water rescues of F-105 pilots who were hit over North Vietnam, and managed to ditch or parachute into the Tonkin Gulf. It was an important and historic event, which is recorded in the operational history of the USS King. For this and other feats, Morie earned the Air Medal, the Vietnam Service and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, along with the National Defense Service Medal. He earned the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and served in the Navy for 10 years.
 
After his military career, Morie served as a Flight Engineer (FE) for Pan American World Airways from 1967-1991. His family loved hearing about the many adventures, life-saving calculations, and narrow landing victories Morie experienced in that role. When Pan Am was sold to Delta Airlines in 1991, Morie was able to transfer to Delta, and was a senior FE until his retirement in 2002.
 
Morie was a lifelong learner and earned two master’s degrees, one from the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California in 1964, and the second from Chapman University in Orange, California, in 1971. His family will also remember Morie as a lifelong dabbler (and sometimes gambler) in the stock market, as a brilliant man of many talents, and as someone who loved to find cheap gas and a good Chinese Buffet. More importantly, he loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and sought to share his faith whenever possible. He was a respected Bible scholar within his Christian community and was an excellent Bible teacher.
 
He also loved and is survived by his four children, Marc and Anne (Peterson) LeGare, Lisa-Noelle LeGare, Danielle (LeGare) and Aaron Myers, and J. Michael and Leela (Modjallal) LeGare, two stepchildren, Amy and Jason Mushorn, and 14 grandchildren. His wife Ann, was the joy of his final years, and loved him well.
 

Morie lived a full and rewarding life, and is enjoying his heavenly reward. He would be so happy if instead of giving flowers, you instead donate in his name to the church his father planted, Trinity Presbyterian Church, in Stockton, California. His place of interment is yet to be determined, but his real and forever home is in heaven.

Obituary.................Robert G. Brown, 86
Cape Cod Times (Hyannis, MA) - Wednesday, July 10, 2019
EAST FALMOUTH, MASS. - Bob passed away, Monday July 8th of Pancreatic Cancer. He was preceded by his wife of 56 years, the love of his life, Ida M. Pingree; and leaves his son, Jeffrey Brown and his wife, Kristen Brown, of Franklin, MA and his two beloved grandchildren, Christopher and Michaela Brown. He also leaves his son Scott Brown of New York, NY and leaves a brother, Al Brown and sister-in-law, Linda of Surprise, AZ. If you ever met Bob, you loved him. His many friends, neighbors and co-workers will miss him dearly.
 
Bob was born and raised in Creston, Iowa on his parent's farm, but farming was not in his future. Bob followed his dream and enlisted in the Navy as a cadet, completed flight training and received his wings. After flight school he was based at Naval Air Station in Alameda, CA (VF-111) flew F9s off the U.S.S. Lexington and then became a flight instructor at North Island. After an honorable discharge from the Navy, Bob started his career in commercial aviation in 1957 and flew for 35 years, retiring as a 747 Captain with Northwest Airlines. Flying was his passion and he often said, "I never worked a day in my life".
 
In retirement, he spent time with his family, was a member of the John Wesley United Methodist Church and volunteer at the Falmouth Service Center and Meals on Wheels.
 
A Memorial Service will be held at the John Wesley United Methodist Church on Friday, July 12th at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to the Falmouth Service Center or Meals on Wheels.

CPT. Elmer Elton “Junior” Hinkle, Jr
BIRTH  :  6 Apr 1941.....Morrisville, Polk County, Missouri, USA
DEATH :   28 Apr 2019 (aged 78)....Frisco, Collin County, Texas, USA
BURIAL  :  Christ United Methodist Church Columbarium, Plano, Collin County, Texas, USA;
 
Junior married his childhood sweetheart, Linda, on September 8, 1962. He graduated from Missouri University, Columbia, Missouri in 1963 and received a commission in the United States Air Force through the ROTC.
 
In March 1964, Junior and Linda arrived at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma where he became a member of Class 65-F. He was assigned to 3575th Pilot Training Wing, 3576th Pilot Training Squadron, Flight 3, 'Speedy' where he flew the T-37B 'Tweet', with Wayne Yohe as his instructor. Part way through our T-37B training, the class was split in half and Junior was reassigned to the Flight 4, 'Warlock' in the 3576th Pilot Training Squadron. While in Warlock flight, his instructors were Emery Cushing and William Butler. In advanced flight training, he was assigned to Flight 1, 'Mojack' where he flew the supersonic T-38A 'Talon', which was also known as 'The White Rocket'. His instructors were James Wilhelm, Harold Mund and Donald McCarter.
 
On Saturday morning, March 20, 1965, he graduated and was awarded his Pilot Wings. He was an Outstanding Officer Graduate for having ‘”excelled in flying, academics and military performance.” Junior accepted an assignment to Pilot Instructor Training and became a T-38A Instructor Pilot at Vance Air Force Base where he remained until March 1967 when he was reassigned to Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, Texas instructing German students. He was not happy with the assignment as he did not volunteer while numerous others did and yet he was sent there against his will.
 
In November 1967, he ferried an F-5 to Europe after a brief check out at Williams AFB, Chandler, Arizona. What was to have been an eighteen-day trip turned into a month. Junior came away with a bad feeling about the TAC pilots who led the whole mess. He ended up spending a week in Morroco until he wrangled a USAF air evacuation flight to Portugal, as he did not have a passport
 
When he was not offered a regular commission in the USAF, he left the Air Force and joined Delta Airlines in March 1969. Based on class seniority he got his choice of Dallas as his home base. He was a Second Officer on DC-8 for about eight months and then went back to Atlanta for DC-9 First Officer training. He flew First Officer on DC-9, B-727, L-1011, and Captain on B-737, B-727, B-757, B-767, and MD-11. He flew 29 years out of Dallas and final 3 years out of Atlanta on MD-11 international. In the course of his flying with Delta, he flew to Tokyo, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Rome, Athens, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo.
 
Mostly routine flying during his 32 years with the exception of an early, foggy departure out of Savannah, GA. The runway had a crown at mid-point which preventing seeing a flock of sea gulls that decided to lift off just as he rotated for takeoff. He took gulls in both engines and had no choice but to set it back down. It was a B-737 and a 6000 ft runway and he was able to stop with the nose wheel just at the end of the runway. He flew his retirement flight on March 31, 2001 from Frankfurt to Atlanta. Linda went on the trip and the First Officer went back and brought her to the cockpit and strapped her in the center jump seat for the descent and landing. She was thrilled and still talks about the experience.
 
His first 10 years with Delta were spent flying, playing golf, tennis, and the usual things around the house. In 1980 he decided to start a home construction company as his dad and granddad had been in construction. He did the preliminary design and never built the same home twice. Linda worked in the office and decorated the spec homes and worked with clients on custom homes. He built about 100 homes during the 11 years. They moved to Shell Knob, Missouri in 1994 and built their retirement home.
 
In 2010, Jr and Linda set up and hosted the first reunion for class 65-F in Branson, Missouri. The reunion was a tremendous success due to the detailed planning of Jr and Linda.
 
Several years later, they moved to Frisco, Texas to be nearer their children. Jr then built a new retirement home in Frisco.
 
After retirement from Delta they enjoyed taking cruises to Alaska, New Zealand & Australia, Panama Canal, Hawaii, Scandinavia & Russia, and a Mediterranean cruise. One of his most enjoyable and rewarding trips was to Normandy, France where they visited Omaha Beach, Utah Beach and the town of Bayeux which was the first town liberated on D-Day. It was something that he had always wanted to do and it proved to be more rewarding than imagined.
 
He is survived by his wife of 56 years and two sons, Wade and Chris.
 

A Celebration of Life will be held August 24th, 2:00pm at the Christ Methodist Church, 3101 Coit Road, Plano, TX 75075.
