~In Memory~

Capt Blaine Herbert Hall, 93

Jan 30, 1921 - Oct 11, 2013

The sad news has been received of the passing of Blaine Herbert Hall of St. George, Utah.

I just learned of the passing of WAL Captain, Blaine Hall,at age 93 in St George Utah. His funeral is set for Friday Oct 19 2013.

From, Captain Dewey Gerrard

 

Obituary from the local paper:

Blaine Herbert Hall

St. George

Blaine Herbert Hall lived for his family. His favorite words were, "You make the grandpa's heart happy!" Blaine left this life on October 11, 2013 to join his beloved wife, Carrie, to whom he had been married for 71 years. He was born on January 30, 1921 in Alpine, Utah, and was 92 ½ years old. He lived a rich and full life and is survived by a family who loves him. His five children are Dean Hall, Allen Hall, Karren Willard, Miles Hall, and Colleen Earnshaw. He also leaves 31 grandchildren, 49 great grandchildren, and one great-great granddaughter.

As a young man with only a high school degree, Blaine worked hard to receive his pilot's license. He then became a flight instructor. He and his new bride, Caroldean "Carrie" Candland, were married on August 28, 1942 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple, just a week before he began flying commercially for Western Airlines. He flew for Western for over 38 years until he was required to retire on his 60th birthday. His work took him to various locations, but they called Thousand Oaks, CA home for 32 years. For the past 19 years, he has enjoyed living in the St. George desert which he loved.

Blaine lived his life serving the Lord by serving others. He had served in many different callings and was a beloved bishop in Thousand Oaks for 9 ½ years. He served as a Stake Patriarch for over 40 years and gave over 1800 blessings in his life. He also served as a Temple worker and Sealer. He and Carrie served two missions at the Mesa Arizona Temple Visitor's Center, and in the Philippines Quezon City mission.

Blaine was always reaching out to those around him and was always looking for what good he could do for others. He was continually giving to everyone he knew. His heart was gold and his dedication to following Jesus Christ was stellar. His life was long and full, and he is now happily reunited with the love of his life who he has missed terribly since her passing. We know he is happy. May we never forget his great example. Funeral services will be held Friday, October 18, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at the Little Valley LDS Stake Center, 1762 South River Road, St. George, Utah. Visitations will be held Thursday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Metcalf Mortuary, 288 West St. George Blvd. and on Friday, at the Stake Center, at 9:30 a.m. Interment will be held Saturday, October 19th at 2:00 p.m. at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East 10600 South, Sandy, Utah.

Harvey Theodore Engen was born April 24, 1926, in Clam Falls Township on a farm near Frederic, Wisconsin to Lars and Myrtle Nykreim Engen - the first of seven children. Harvey attended Frederic Elementary and High Schools. After graduation he worked as a shipyard welder in Superior, Wisconsin. While there, he learned to fly. But it was also in Superior, while enjoying an ice cream at the local ice cream parlor that he noticed Shirley Biederman, a classmate from Frederic High School whom he had admired. He and Shirley began dating and eventually married in Frederic on June 10, 1948. Harvey and Shirley had four children, Sherrie, Steve, Marcia, and David. In 1946, Harvey joined the Air Force and obtained his commercial pilot's license. In 1951 he obtained his instrument rating and started working for Northwest Airlines loading baggage and fueling planes. Later he began flying for Northwest Airlines as copilot, eventually flying all over the world as captain on the DC10 and B747. He retired in 1986 after 35 years with Northwest. Harvey always said he thought he had "the best job in the world." In their 64 years of marriage, Harvey and Shirley enjoyed their family, church work, traveling, and photography. They took many "photo safaris" to photograph and explore natural wonders and American history. Shirley preceded him in death last October. Harvey's last day on earth may have been one of his most enjoyable. He went camping at Claytor Lake, Virginia with son, Steve, and his family - four generations. Harvey spent the day happily photographing the family as they canoed and swam and great-grandson, Cedric's baptism in the lake. That evening, they talked by the campfire and Harvey was the last to leave, staying to watch the fading embers. Later that night he suffered a fatal heart attack. Harvey enjoyed his work, home, family, nature, and his active retirement. He was friendly, generous, hospitable, loved to laugh, loved ice cream, had a deep faith in God, and was a man of strong work ethic and high integrity. He continually prepared for the future. He had the gift of acceptance and the courage to change what he could, and a gift for enjoying life. He inspired us. A funeral service will be held for Harvey at the Clam Falls Lutheran Church, at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 30, 2013. A graveside service for both Harvey and Shirley will be held immediately after the funeral service.

Harvey & Shirley Engen

Harvey and Shirley Engen spent more than 50 years traveling, photographing and researching in the pursuit of Shirley's passion of writing a Christian homeschool curriculum centered around the language arts.  

Harvey & Shirley met in high school and married shortly after college. Harvey, who served in the Air Force, was a pilot for NorthWest Airlines for 34 years. During his last year with NorthWest, Harvey began volunteering as a pilot with Mercy Medical Airlift, eventually logging over 28000 hours. 

Shirley graduated from Superior State Teachers College in Superior Wisconsin with a Bachelors Degree in the major of Education, and minors in Art and Music. She has a Masters in Photojournalism from Regent University, and published her thesis, “Vision Airborne”, a photo-documentary of Mercy Medical Airlift, for whom Shirley functioned as photographer for a number of years. Some of her photographs were used in the book "Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic" by Suzanne Rhodes. Shirley taught for a number of years and was especially successful with learning-challenged children by engaging their interests with visually-based teaching. Shirley published “Greenhouse Unit for the Kindergarten” in Instructor Magazine during the time she was teaching. 

In the early Sixties, Shirley had a passion for teaching and a vision for a Christian-based curriculum that would help people of all ages to learn and understand the English language. Harvey, who also has a passion for photography, completely supported, encouraged, and assisted in making her vision a reality, and together they have traveled all over the United States, as well as to Norway, Canada, Japan and China.

Sadly, for all who loved her, Shirley went to be with the Lord on October 25, 2012. She is missed terribly. 

Harvey is doing well, and continues to pursue publishing Shirley's work.

 I want to post the below to Tom Malone's death notice:

Tom (my uncle) did fly his final flight on Oct 2, 2013, after a hard fought battle with Parkinson's and tumors on the left side of his face and neck.

Although his body gave out, his mind was clear until the end.  For those of us who knew him, all of his charm, wit and humor were there! 

He was born and raised in Yonkers, New York.  Following high school, he joined the Air Force and learned to fly in the base flying club.  His airline career included: United, Eastern, Western, Icelandic (while on furlough from WAL) and finally Delta.

He found great joy in his career as a pilot, and hoped that those who follow will enjoy it much as he did.  To the end he loved telling stories from the "old" days, and was very much interested in the future of piloting and the airline industry.  He was very hopeful that today's, and tomorrow's pilots find the same high level of comradery that made his career so special. 

I am sure that he had Saint Peter laughing.

From the Wallybird Thanks to Carol MItchell for this sad information. Dick Hi Dick, I don't know if Dick contacted you yet about our recent trip to see Tom and Beverly Malone in Sebastopol while we were in northern California for a graduation. Tom is in poor health due to Parkinson's. We learned that he has had 5 operations since Nov. of last year. The most recent was to remove a tumor on his face which was diagnosed with cancer. He has a 24/7 caregiver at this time. He walks using a walker now and has a feeding tube. His mind is still sharp and he enjoys phone calls. Beverly had a double lung transplant about a year and a half ago; so cannot lift anything heavy. We took her to dinner one night which she thoroughly enjoyed; and joined the family for dinner the next night. His daughter, Stephanie, lives and works in Sebastopol; and son Patrick was there too. The home number is 707-823-0159 and cell phone is 707-696-0103. I hope you will let the Western family know about Tom. Thanks, Carol Mitchell Dick's wife
