David
R. Hazen, of Port St. Lucie Fl, formerly of Hopkinton, MA, took his last fight
on February 15, 2019. He was born in Newton, MA to LLoyd E. Hazen and Mabel F.
Wildman. An interest in flying came at an early age, as his father was a
commericial airline pilot for Northeast Airlines. When most 16 year olds were
anxious to get their drivers license and a car, David took flying lessons and
purchased a Piper J3 Cub. His career began with Max Conrad, ferrying planes to
many states and Central America. Montgomery Airlines in MD, found him
transporting cargo and passengers.
He joined Aloha Airlines as a first officer, followed by a position with
Northeast Airlines flying DC 9's. When Northeast Airlines was acquired by Delta
Airlines, David's career soared. He worked his way up through the ranks to
captain a variety of aircraft. He completed his career as an international
captain on the Boeing 777.
He is survived by his sisters, Norma Nordstrom (Paul), Dorothy "Dutch"
Bartlett (Gene). He is predeceased by his parents, sisters Sylvia Hatching's,
Charlotte " Chi" Mordant and brothers Richard and Donald Hazen. He leaves
numerous nieces, nephews and their families to cherish his memory.
