Jimmy Britton 

Jimmy Britton, 78, of Howe passed away Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019, in Howe. Jimmy was born Aug. 10, 1940, in Howe to James and Clyta (Howell) Britton. His parents and sister, Peggy Ann, preceded him in death. Jimmy was a highly decorated Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War. As a pilot for Delta Airlines, Jimmy had to two nicknames, "Jimmy Jet" and "Jimmy Fun." He retired early from Delta Airlines after 25 years so he would have more time to hunt, backpack, snowmobile and enjoy the great outdoors with his wife and family. Our time was divided between our cabin above Lost Valley of the San Juans, near Pagosa Springs, Colo., and our home in Howe. Our yearly trek to Colorado was around June until mid-October, when we returned to Oklahoma to hunt white-tailed deer. December found us back in Colorado to play in the snow, coming back to Oklahoma in March in time for turkey season. Jim was president of the Lost Valley POA board of directors for many years, since its inception. He was Colorado's Snowmobile Association (CSA) District 9 representative for seven years. CSA is responsible for grooming trails throughout the state. Jimmy also worked closely with the local U.S. Forest Service on various land access issues. Jimmy's attitude in emergencies calmed all those involved, while otherwise he was a very exciting man. He made life fun for everyone around him; chaotic but fun. He could take an unlikely group of boys and make baseball players out of them. He loved watching them grow as players and individuals becoming even more than they expected. He was an excellent instructor pilot with the Air Force, instructing in the O-1E Bird Dog plane and the OV-10 at Hurlburt Field, Fla., after returning from Vietnam.
Survivors include his wife, Rhonda of Howe; daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and Danny Brklacich of Utah; sons and daughters-in-law, Jon M. and Christy Britton of Tom Bean, Texas, Robert G. and Lisa Britton of Colorado Springs, Colo., and William B. and Nelba Britton of Ketchikan, Alaska; sister, Judy Britton Peerson of Poteau; brothers, Daune Britton of Howe, Max Britton of Corpus Christi, Texas; 14 grandchildren, Jacob, Katelin, Kendal, Braden, Tyler, Cody, Cole, Danielle, Britny, Sam, Beau, Abby, Rowan and Dayana; numerous nieces and nephews; and other relatives, loved ones and friends.
Service will be 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, 2019, at First United Methodist Church in Poteau with Rev. Jim Perkin officiating. Interment will follow at Monroe Cemetery in Monroe, Okla.
Pallbearers will be Jacob Britton, Cody and Cole Brklacich, Beau and Samuel Britton and Beau Tucker.
The family will be at the funeral home 6-8 p.m. Friday to visit with relatives and friends.

Obituary..............

Wayne Segulia, of Prior Lake, passed away on January 27, 2019, at the age of 88.

 

Mass of Christian Burial is Thursday, January 31 at 11 a.m. with visitation beginning at 9:30 a.m. at St. Michael Catholic Church in Prior Lake. Father Tom Walker will preside, and his children will act as pallbearers. Wayne will be laid to rest at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis with full military honors provided by the Fort Snelling Rifle Squad.

 

On July 23, 1930, parents Mathew and Frances Segulia celebrated the birth of their only child, Wayne Mathew Segulia.Wayne grew up in Butte, MT, an old fashioned, rough and tumble mining community. Living in Butte during the Great Depression instilled a strong work ethic in Wayne.

 

From an early age, Wayne worked underground in the copper mines nights and weekends to help support his family. Following his high school graduation, Wayne attended the Montana School of Mines. Before completing his degree, Wayne enlisted in the United States Air Force. He was stationed in Japan, Korea and numerous places in the United States. Wayne was a fighter pilot and was part of a top-secret group of nuclear bomber pilots. Wayne was always so proud of his military service and grateful that he never had to deploy a nuclear bomb.

 

After his honorable discharge, Wayne returned to Montana. He began working for commercial airlines, and eventually ended up at Northwest Airlines. He provided a wonderful life for his family. His work brought him to Prior Lake, where he raised his four children. After 31 years, Wayne retired from Northwest as Captain on the DC10.

 

In the mid 80's, Wayne met the love of his life. Wayne and Carol were married on September 21, 1985 and blended their two families together. Although most of the kids were out of the house by that point, Wayne and Carol always made sure they had a loving home where all their children, grandkids and family dogs were welcome.

 

Wayne was always active in his free time. Golf was one of his favorite activities. Wayne even golfed 18 holes in October before his health began to decline. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, spending time at the cabin up north, and hiked Pikes Peak at age 65. For years, Wayne was dedicated to addressing the "squirrel problem" at his house. He would catch and release them far away from his own yard. Despite the relocation, they always found their way back!

 

As a faithful man, Wayne served as an usher at St. Michael Catholic Church on the Saturday night crew. He also volunteered at the CAP Agency with the food shelf. Wayne had a kind heart and was always happy to help others. Family was the most important thing in Wayne's life. He was a wonderful father & grandpa. Wayne was also a dedicated husband and loving caretaker for Carol.

 

Wayne is loved and missed by his wife, Carol Segulia; children; Mark Segulia, Mike (Cindy) Segulia, Matt Segulia, Margy Segulia, Jeff (Lori) Doerr, Brad (May) Doerr, Crystal (Paul) Dvorak; grandchildren, Jessica, Nathan, Kirsten, Carly, Dan, Steve, Jason, Hunter, Madison & his six great-grandchildren; other loving relatives and friends.

 

Wayne was greeted in Heaven by his parents.
