------------------------

Donald (Don A.) Miller died March 6, 2015. He was born December 19, 1924, in Onamia, Minnesota, and grew up and went to school, partially on a farm near Wabasso, Minnesota, and partially in Minneapolis, Minnesota. When Pearl Harbor was bombed during World War II, December 7, 1941, he enlisted in the navy and was in combat until Germany surrendered. He always wanted to be a pilot, and at the end of the war he learned to fly. He did crop dusting until Northwest Airlines hired him, and he flew for them over 30 years. He flew through Europe, the U.S., and mostly throughout Asian counties. At age 60 the FAA required pilots to retire. Wenatchee was one of his stops when he first started flying for Northwest Airlines, and he admired Clyde Pangborn and copilot Hugh Herndon for their forty-one hour flight from Japan non-stop from Sabishiro beach near Misawa to Fancher Heights Airport. For that reason, Don moved to East Wenatchee, and he and a partner built houses. Except for flying, his most enjoyable work was when he was a Douglas County Planning Commissioner.
He is survived by son Randal Miller, his wife Christy Miller and their son Joseph Miller and their daughter Sharing Kanyer, her husband Samuel Kanyer and their son Shepherd; and by son Garner Miller, his wife Michaela and their sons, Maxwell and Luke.

PAA/DAL Capt. William 'Bill' Charles Ellis Sr.

July 24, 1944 ~ March 8, 2015

News with the passing of ALPA member retired PAA/DL pilot Captain Bill Ellis has been received, but I've not been able to locate an online obituary to date.  Family tree information tells me that Bill is the son of Hiram F.B. Ellis and Marie Hazzard Ellis who were living in Philadelphia at the time of their marriage in 1938.  Friends tell us that Captain Ellis was a Navy Aviator and after the Navy he flew for Ransome Airlines, which led to Pan American World Airways (hire date with Pan Am 06-10-1987) and his retirement with Delta Air Lines.   I believe he was based 030/LGA.  Captain Ellis is survived by his wife Maureen, their children and grandchildren. 

To the best of my knowledge he had most recently resided at 

 2 Simontown Rd.,  Pemberton, NJ 08068-1938  ...  (609) 894-4252

If you have additional information, please let us know as additions/corrections are always greatly appreciated.

            Thank you,

                ~ Carol for the PCN

Bill passed quietly , surrounded by his family. He was stricken with Esophageal Cancer. Bill was a kind and gentle man, while a decorated warrior. Always in good humor and fun to be around. We'll all miss him.

Sorgenfrei...”.  Salute to our Service Men, a Sept. 19, 1944 news article column reads: “A  second Oak-Leaf Cluster to the Air Medal to 1st Lieut. Kennon B. Sorgenfrei, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack D. Sorgenfrei of Snohomish, for action as a pilot, from bases in Italy”.  An Oct. 18, 1944 article notes The Purple Heart awarded to 1st. Lieut. Kennon B. Sorgenfrei.

THE SHELBURNE ESCAPE LINE
Anacortes author Réanne Hemingway-Douglass announces the release of her new book: The Shelburne Escape Line – Secret Rescues of Allied Aviators by the French Resistance, Britain’s Royal Navy and London’s MI-9. A lifelong Francophile, Réanne tells the true story of the Shelburne Line, a secret escape route for Allied aviators stranded in WWII France, and the only line not infiltrated by the Gestapo. The book pays tribute to the audacity and heroism of the French Resistance members and Allied military and intelligence personnel who made the escapes possible. It also recounts the experiences of some of the numerous Allied airmen who were shot down over Occupied France. Réanne brings a personal touch to these histories, as many of the people she writes about are her friends.

Todd   Douglas  Perry  ..  obituary........................
Todd D. Perry, age 48, of Oak Grove passed away peacefully March 9, 2015 after a short and courageous battle with ALS.
He was a devoted husband, father, son and brother. He was born Aug. 29, 1966.

Todd went on to his dream career as a pilot for Northwest Airlines and most currently was a First Officer on the Airbus at Delta Airlines – he loved his job.

He loved being with his family, raising and playing with his children and wife. He was an avid jogger, woodworker and handyman.
Todd is survived by his wife, Karyn; children, Ashton and Lauryn; mother, Joni; father, Doug (Diane); siblings, Steve (Laurie), Sandy (Dan) Jones and Troy (Beth); in-laws, Mary and Jerry Schultz; sister-in-law, Kristi (Daniel) Gylten; nieces, nephews, friends and other relatives.

Doug Evans "The Train Guy" operating S-gauge model train layout at the Batesville Mmorial Public Library

 

Life Legacy .....................................

 

 Doug Evans, age 59 of Batesville, Indiana passed away on Friday, March 6, 2015 at his home. Born on December 24, 1955 in Normal, IL to of Glenn W. and Nancy L. (Jones) Evans. He married Gayle Dolson on September 15, 1978 in Colorado Springs, Co.

 

 Doug was a 1977 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy and served several years in the U.S. Air Force. He worked as a pilot for Delta Air Lines.

 

 Doug was a husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. He was also a pilot, an avid model railroader, and an amateur sailor. He was known around Batesville as “The train guy” and loved sharing his passion with others. His display at the library would attract hundreds of visitors each holiday season. He always had a one-liner ready, like “it’s not okay to be stupid,” one of his favorite quotes by Frank Zappa. He was a past member of the Whitewater Valley Railroad and the Batesville Area Historical Society for several years, and he was more recently a member of the Columbus Model Railroad Club. He enjoyed creating things and attacked woodworking, model railroading, and electronics projects with studied perfectionism. Doug was always working to improve his craft and to master both the technical and artistic aspects of his projects. Equally at home with a chainsaw or soldering iron, his handiwork and knowledge of craft will be greatly missed. He was always learning and had a fascination with History and electronics. Doug loved spending time with his two grandkids who dubbed him “Joji”. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.

 

 Doug is survived by his wife, Gayle, his sons Bryan (Rachel) Evans of Westfield, IN and Neal Evans (Jill Van Gee) of San Antonio, TX, his daughter Leslie (Chris) Hill of Cedar Lake, IN; grandson Jacob Hill and granddaughter Caroline Evans; his mother Nancy Evans and one sister Amy Evans (Steve Curl) both of Grand Junction, CO.

 

 A memorial service will be 6pm on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at Meyers Funeral Home, Batesville, IN. Rev. Charles Flory officiating. Military honors will follow services at the funeral home.

~ IN MEMORY ~

WWII & Korean war veteran, CDR USN ret. RW (NWA) Capt. Keith M. Hollingsworth

August 29, 1920 ~ January 4, 2015

 

Belated notice...noted in the March 2015 Air Line Pilot magazine's In Memoriam column, we see the passing of Northwest pilot Captain Keith M. Hollingsworth, age 94.  Hughes Air West sources have provided me with some background information...Jack writes: "An old Pacific Airlines seniority list shows Keith M. Hollingsworth as  a date of hire 9-27-49 with 749 days of Military leave. (Korea) The Hughes Air West annual shows Keith as a 1941 Navy Cadet having flown the R5D (DC4) as plane commander and retired Navy Commander".   Keith was flying the DC-9s for Hughes Air West, based SFO prior to his retirement which would have been in 1980.  This was just prior to the merger with Northwest.  Keith is the father of RW/NWA/DL pilot Captain Brian Lee Hollingsworth who is currently based DTW/031/International with Delta Air Lines.  

 

Captain Keith Hollingsworth had resided in Pleasanton, California after retirement and more recently in Frisco, Texas.  He was widowed in August of 2013 with the passing of his wife Elizabeth 'Betty' Hollingsworth.

 

My information is limited so if anyone has more information to add...additions/corrections ... please do let me know as all are welcomed.

Thank you,
