Obituary : James Albert (Jim) Moyle

Scottsdale AZ – James Albert (Jim) Moyle passed away peacefully, November 2, 2021. He was born January 23, 1930 to Dr. Chester and Helen Bird Moyle in San Francisco, CA. He was raised in Merced, CA, attended Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Elementary School then graduated from Menlo Preparatory School in Menlo Park, CA. He attended University of Southern California School of Aviation in Santa Maria, CA. He then enlisted in the USAF and served at Nellis AFB, NV and Ladd Field, Fairbanks, AK where he served as Operator of Link Trainor training pilots. On completing his service he flew as pilot for Wein Air in Alaska before being hired by Bonanza Airlines in Las Vegas NV.

 

In 1966 he moved to Phoenix, AZ to continue his flying career and in 1969 he met and married Jeannine Junk. They were married 52 years 48 of them living in the Pinnacle Peak area. In 1990 Jim retired as Captain from Northwest Airlines (now Delta).

 

Jim's passion was aviation having flown passengers over the San Juaquin Valley starting at the age of 17. He always owned aircraft and was honored as the recipient of the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award for flying 50 consecutive years without incident.

 

From age 5 to 50 every summer, except when he was in the Service, he packed and camped in the High Sierras. He enjoyed hiking the mountains, the Grand Canyon, Paria Canyon, and trails all over the West. He was an avid water skier and at the age of 40, on a single ski, along with a sixteen year old friend, Jackie Brasher, he skied non-stop, the entire perimeter of Lake Tahoe.

 

Jim enjoyed snow skiing, swimming, boating on Lake Powell, and any activity outdoors. His favorite pastime though, was flying his RV-4 anywhere. He so enjoyed the comradery of fellow pilots. Those he worked with, the ones he knew through the "Silver Eagles", and the "United Flying Octogenarians". On any given day he could always be found visiting good friends at the hangars at Falcon Field or Deer Valley Airport.

 

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, his nephew Kenny Leap, and a former brother-in-law Ken Leap and brother-in-law Sonny Dimock. He is survived by his wife Jeannine, his sister Barbara Dimock, nephew Jim Leap, nephew Ken's wife Regina Aragon-Leap, brothers-in-law Sam Junk (Grace), Bill Junk (Jan) and many nieces, nephews, grand and great-grand nieces and nephews.
