Sad news has reached us that our PHX friend Gary Coppess passed away Friday morning due to heart related issues.  Gary was born/raised in Washington state.  He hired on with Western 01-17-1966 and was based SLC.  Gary is survived by his wife Michelle Jean ‘Jeanie’ and his children Dawn, Robert, Jeffrey, Brandie, and Robin.  Personal condolences may be sent to the family at 13631 N. Bittersweet Way,  Fountain Hills AZ 85268-3618.  I have not seen his obituary yet and arrangements are pending, but we will be sure to pass along that information when it becomes known.

Gary was one of those good guys, a well respected pilot and a good friend to many. 

He will surely be missed!
