Peggy Hancock's obituary...............................................

 http://www.asturner.com/obituary/Peggy-Futral-Hancock/Snellville-GA/1540209 
Peggy Futral Hancock, 76, of Stone Mountain, Georgia and Naples, Florida, passed peacefully on August, 29th, 2015, surrounded by her loving family, following a courageous battle with ovarian cancer.  Peggy was born in Savannah, Georgia on February 24, 1939, and grew up across the street from Forsyth Park. She learned to roller-skate and to ride her sister's bike around the fountain there. She was a graduate of Commercial High School. Peggy met Lt. Murall Hancock, the love of her life, while he was stationed at Hunter Air Force Base as a pilot. They married and, after starting their family while in the U.S. Air Force, settled in Stone Mountain once Murall became a pilot for Delta Airlines. Peggy was a long time member of the Morning Glories Garden Club. She and Murall have been members of the Christian Friendship class at First United Methodist Church of Tucker for more than four decades. As a stay at home mom, Peggy provided wonderful meals, carpool rides, kisses and band-aids on scraped knees, and many packed picnic baskets for family outings. She instilled a love for nature in all of her children by never missing an opportunity to point out a beautiful sunset, fluffy clouds on a summer day, or the moon and stars in the night sky. For all of those things, we will forever be grateful. Peggy is survived by Murall, her devoted husband of 58 years, and their four children, Chris, Chuck (Tamara), Robin, and David (Maria); grandchildren, Courtney (Kris), Amelia (Will), Eilis, Lydia, Katherine, Neil, Emory, Nathan, Eric, Sam, Charlotte, and Sophia; and great grandchild, Jolene. Surviving also are siblings, Sam Futral, Jane Dooley, and John Futral, and numerous nieces and nephews. "Our last kiss shall be as sweet as our first, and my heart full of your love will rest next to yours in God's arms. And we will watch God's starry sky forever - together." ~ Murall Hancock. A memorial service will be held at First United Methodist Church of Tucker, 5095 LaVista Road, Tucker, Georgia, 30084, on Tuesday, September 1st at 2:00 p.m. in the main sanctuary, officiated by Rev. Dr. Jim Higgins, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The United Methodist Children's Home, 500 S. Columbia Drive, Decatur, 30030, 404-327-5820 in her memory.

Raymond Roy took his last flight on August 17, at the age of 93. He grew up in Lowell and graduated from Lowell High School and Lowell State University. Peg and Ray met in 1945 while riding the bus between Lowell and Boston.

Ray began flying very early in his life. His early flying included giving rides for $2.00 to any civilian who was daring enough to ride with him.

He began his career in the Army Air Force as a flight cadet. He began active service in Army Air Corp, during WWII, teaching Chinese officers basic flight training. At the end of WWII, he joined the Air Force Reserves and was activated again during the Korean Conflict.

After the Korean Conflict, Ray joined Northeast Airlines and eventually, Northeast was acquired by Delta Airlines. Ray retired from Delta as a captain in 1981 and enjoyed a fabulous retirement with Peg, traveling the world and enjoying their family of 4 children, 11 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren.

==============================

 

John Mastronardi

 

Retired Delta Airlines pilot and golf enthusiast

 

John Mastronardi (called Jack by everyone who knew him) passed away on June 3 after a valiant and courageous battle with multiple myeloma. He was 73 years old.

 

He leaves his beloved wife, Jeannie (Lavoie) and their children, Lia Mastronardi of Cape Giardeau, MO, Jena Frederick and her husband, Joey of New Orleans, LA and Nick and his wife, Bobbie Sue, currently of Fayetteville, GA. Jack is the son of Dorothy DePietro and the late Anthony Mastronardi and is also survived by his siblings, his sisters, Merilyn and her husband, Scott Yianacopolus of Lynnfield Jeanne Coffey and Anne Mastronardi, both of Port St. Lucie, Florida and a brother, Ronald of Massachusetts; his grandchildren, Hudson Frederick and Leo and Marcus Mastronardi, a brother-in-law,, Warren Lavoie of Georgia, a sister-in-law, Rita and her husband, David Heller of Florida and many dear cousins (especially George West) and nieces as well as his long time pal and dear friend, Johnny Lanza and many other friends.

 

Jack graduated Revere High School, Class of 1960 and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute – RPI, Class of 1964 where he received his degree in mechanical engineering. He played baseball and was the captain of the team in his senior year. He served his country during the Vietnam War achieving the rank of Captain in the US Air Force. He later became a Delta Airlines pilot, a job he performed with distinction and from which he retired after 30 years.

 

He was a devoted family man who loved spending time with his relatives and friends at his gorgeous home on a spectacular golf course in White Water Creek, Fayetteville, GA. He was an ardent student of the game of golf and came to be quite proficient at it. He enjoyed reading and talking about golf, watching it on TV and he especially loved playing endless rounds of golf whenever he had the chance. He was a master of the game and scored a ‘hole in one’ a few years ago.

 

He is remembered by many people who have known him over the years as a great companion, an intelligent, kind and generous person who was always willing to offer help to all who needed it. Many were the beneficiaries of his advice, his wise counsel and his always helpful suggestions in traversing life’s difficulties.

 

He was particularly honored by a young South Vietnamese soldier, Pham Quang Khiem, who Jack trained during the war in Vietnam, in an article written for an Air Force publication. Khiem, who was aided by Jack both financially and socially when he had to flee that country, received assistance for himself and his family during a harrowing time. He credits Jack with his later success in the United States where he lives and has prospered as an airline pilot. He gives thanks to Capt. Jack Mastronardi for all the effort he made on his behalf.

 

Jack, who his cousin, Kevin, called “The Aristotle in the family,,” was a leader and a great “thinker.” Like the Greek, he had his keen mind always working on something, analyzing some issue, doing research on various subjects (like studying the stock market, etc.) and basically continuing to provoke and inspire others with his profound insights. And he was a perfect “devil’s advocate.” It was a delight to speak with him on many topics because you always learned something from him. In addition, he could tell a great story….he had a sly wit and a great sense of humor.

 

He was intelligent as well as street smart and was a savvy and canny observer of life, the likes of which we will not see anytime soon.

 

He will be greatly missed by many people.

 

Memorial services have not yet been set. Announcements will be made at a later date.

Obituary For Richard L. Latterell  http://www.swnewsmedia.com/onlinemarketplace/tributes/obituaries/obituary-for-richard-l-latterell/article_495289f2-6e5d-5fb2-8fe3-8509e1bd9f63.html
March 18, 2015 - Richard Lee Latterell (“Dad”), born on April 3, 1943 in Willmar, was the youngest of three children of William and Ida (Rykken) Latterell. At age 16, Dad accepted an after-school job at the Willmar Air Service. By his senior year in high school, Dad had earned his private pilot’s license there. Dad’s love of flying was clear even then; his classmates signed his 1961 high school graduation yearbook with well wishes about Dad flying a Piper Cub airplane.
After high school, Dad enrolled at St. Cloud State University, where he put himself through college working as a flight instructor for the local airport and the campus aeronautical club, called The Flying Saints. He saved for tuition by living with his married sister Faye and her husband Harlan. It was through the aeronautical club that Mom and Dad met. In fact, Dad was actually Mom’s flight instructor. Dad said that Mom asked more questions than any student he had ever experienced, but the two still really hit it off.
After college, Mom and Dad continued dating. Mom had moved to Minneapolis, and Dad would fly back and forth from St. Cloud, where he was still working as a flight instructor. In 1967, the couple married. As luck would have it, they both landed jobs with North Central Airlines; Mom in the central office, and Dad as a co-pilot in a DC-3. A year later, Mom became a stewardess, and the two were lucky enough to work a few flights together.
When Mom and Dad bought their first house in Prior Lake in 1968, Dad discovered he enjoyed being on a snowmobile almost as much as being in the cockpit. The young couple made many close friends with their neighbors, playing card games, grilling steaks and entertaining. During this time, Becky and Rick were born, and Dad also served in the Army National Guard under his brother, Col. Gerald Latterell.
After eight years in the suburbs, Dad wanted to try life in the country, so he and Mom bought forty acres in Jordan, where they designed and built their own house. Dad also tried his hand at hobby farming, growing and selling sod, and even buying a nearby farm to try a little cropland. The couple’s youngest child, Cheryl, was born on the Jordan hobby farm. When Cheryl got into competitive horse showing in high school, Dad expanded his skill set to include driving a horse trailer to weekend horse shows.
When Dad retired in 2001, he bought 52 acres and a hunting cabin up north, near Frazee, MN. In 2002, Dad bought a condo on Big Pine Lake in Perham, MN. There are many pictures of his children and grandchildren boating, swimming and having fun on that lake.
Dad once estimated that he had logged about 35,000 hours in the air on commercial and private aircraft. He was licensed to fly commercial models such as the DC - 9, DC-10 and Boeing 757, as well as over two-dozen small planes. Throughout all of his adventures, Dad also kept his original love of small airplanes. He built a hangar at Airlake Airport, close to many of his other pilot friends, where he always owned one or more private planes. Two planes that stand out in our memory are the antique open-cockpit Stearman, and his last plane, marked for his initials and birthdate. He gave plane rides to all three of his kids at the AirLake Airport, as well as many of his friends.
Dad’s example of making a living at something you love remains an inspiration to us, his children, as does his example of unwavering support and love.
Left to honor Dad’s life and mourn his death are his wife, of 47 years, Eileen Suzannne; children, Rebecca (Steven) Bowerman, Richard Allan Latterell, Cheryl (Christa) Latterell Johnson; granddaughters, Nichole and Elizabeth Bowerman; sister, Faye (Harlan) Childers; and his other loving relatives and devoted friends.
Richard was welcomed in heaven by his parents, William and Ida Latterell; and brother, Gerald (Barbara) Latterell.
Richard will be honored with a Funeral Service on Friday, March 20 at 11:30 a.m., with a time of gathering starting at 10 a.m., all at the Church of St. Michael, 16311 Duluth Avenue SE, Prior Lake, MN. Deacon Dick Roy will preside. He will be laid to rest at St. Michael’s Catholic Cemetery, in Prior Lake.

Troy C. Usher Jr. (1943 - 2014)
Obituary.............................Troy Clarence Usher Jr.

Troy Clarence Usher, Jr., born in Bennettsville, SC, on August 16, 1943, died at his home in Tamassee, SC, on April 3, 2014. After a trip to the store and while beekeeping in his yard, Troy sat down to rest, and peacefully went to sleep.

 

A celebration of Troy's life, with military honors, will take place at 2 p.m., Monday, April 7, 2014, at Seneca Presbyterian Church, 115 West South First Street in downtown Seneca with a reception to follow that will include honey from Troy's beehives. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Troy's memory to Honor Flight Upstate, P.O. Box 838, Simpsonville, SC 29681.

 

After graduating from Clemson University in 1965, Troy served in the Air Force as a jet fighter pilot and forward air controller in Vietnam. He retired after a career as a commercial airline pilot. Troy was an avid beekeeper and was typically involved in a building project of some sort. His favorite activities included zinging one-liners to the unexpecting listener, bush-hogging a field, tending to his animals, conversing over morning coffee with his beloved bride Marti, operating a piece of heavy equipment, sharing his honey with others, and enjoying a big bowl (or carton) of vanilla ice cream. His sharp wit and charm brought humor to even the most difficult situations.

 

Troy is the son of the late Elizabeth and Troy C. Usher of Hartsville, SC, and is predeceased by sisters Sara Usher and Winifred Henderson. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Martha Wells Usher of Tamassee, SC; his son Todd, daughter-in-law Michelle, granddaughters Morgan and Emme, and grandson Connor Troy Usher of Greenville, SC; his daughter Ellen Usher of Lexington, KY; his stepson Justin and granddaughter Lisa Williams of Rochester, NH; his niece Sara Henderson of Mountain Rest, SC; his nephew August, wife Susan, and son Liam Henderson, of Austin, TX; and beloved pups, Olivia and Hoover, and cat Ruby.

 

In a typical gesture of his selfless generosity, Troy had arranged for his body to be donated to the USC School of Medicine for medical study and research. The family would like to express gratitude to all who cared for Troy during his ongoing treatment for leukemia, including the doctors, nurses, and staff, as well as the many anonymous blood donors, who made his life with leukemia possible.

WC/NWA Capt. Glenn 'Wilbur' Woods

~ IN MEMORY ~

Captain Glenn ‘Wilbur’ Woods

January 19, 1932 ~ July 21, 2015

Glenn passed away unexpectedly at his home in Seattle at the age of 83. He was born in Cordova, Alaska to Earl Franklin Woods and Elizabeth McLoskey DeHart. He was raised in the Green Lake district, attended John Marshall Junior High and was a 1950 graduate of Roosevelt High School.

After serving in the Air Force he returned to Seattle and with a close friend managed the "Hot Dog Show" on the corner of Ravenna and Roosevelt Way - a popular spot for locals to gather, eat and for their former classmates to work.

Glenn's passion was flying and he went on to have a 35 year career as an Airline Pilot. He began in 1957 with West Coast Airlines and after several mergers retired in 1992 as a Captain (#1) with Northwest Airlines.

After reconnecting with Virgy Lou at their 30th Roosevelt High Reunion they married and set off on an adventure of cruising and golf. They joined the Seattle Yacht Club in 1983 and Glenn soon bought his first of 2 boats. He loved cruising the beautiful waters of the Pacific Northwest and was an active member of the yacht club serving on several committees. In retirement he rediscovered golf and together they became snow birds splitting time between many friends at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage and their Seattle home.

He is survived by his wife Virgy Lou, his children and their families: Jeff Woods (Lisa), Julie Katzer (Jim); grandchildren: Adrienne, Dominic, Abiegail, Kellen, August, Leah and step grandchildren Sierra and Liana Hagans.

He is also survived by his stepchildren and their families: Erik Anderson (Patricia) and Karin Anderson; as well as his step grandchildren: Nicolas, Victoria, Michael and Shelby. He is also survived by nephews Don and Brad Greenway and his former wife Judy Harwood. He was preceded in death by his sister Jeanne Greenway.
A celebration of his life will be held in the fall, visitwww.AcaciaFuneralHome.com
