Obituary...........................
Martin "Marty" J. Barron, 59, of South Portland, died Thursday, February 25, 2016 at Maine Medical Center.

 

Born in Milton, MA, Marty was the son of the late Martin A. and Joanne (Leavitt) Barron. He attended Holy Cross School, Cheverus High School, and St. Francis Xavier University of Nova Scotia.

 

After college, Marty honorably served his country in the United States Navy. A pilot, he began by flying the P-3 Orion and continued his love of being airborne flying commercially for Delta Airlines. Marty also had a passion for education. He taught chemistry at Cheverus High School for 8 years and more recently worked as an Adjunct Professor in the Chemistry Department at Southern Maine Community College.

 

A talented craftsman, Marty enjoyed carpentry and working on various jobs around the house. His proudest project and ultimate gift to his wife was the renovation of his cottage on Long Island, where he enjoyed spending summers with his family and friends. Marty was an avid runner and music fan who loved to crank tunes any chance he got. He learned to speak German as an adult and took many trips there to meet friends and explore. He loved a story, a joke, and a beer. He was a faithful communicant of St. Bartholomew Church in Cape Elizabeth.

 

Above all else, Marty was devoted to his family. He was a beloved husband, brother, father, and grandfather. He was so thrilled with every moment he had as the Papa Bear of his three granddaughters; Lucy, Carly, and Mary Mooney.

 

He is survived by his beloved wife of 18 years, Carlene Barron of South Portland; his children, Elizabeth Barron of Portland, Catie Brannelly and husband Sean of Portland, Andrew Barron and wife Sarah Jump of Portland, Brock Mooney and wife Katie of Kennebunk; his 3 adored grandchildren; sister, Meredith Schwarz and husband Mark of Scarborough; brother, William Barron and wife Delphine of Huntington Bay, NY; Sister and brother-in-laws: Roy and Deborah Barry of Naples, FL; Jim and Beverly VanBuskirk of Littleton, CO; Kenneth Brock of Emden, ME.

From: Buck Stevens Date: 2/16/2016 4:32:19 PM To: Mark Sztanyo Cc: death@pilotcommunication.net Subject: Byron Pascal passed away this morning 2/16/16

It is my sad duty to report that Delta classmate and friend J. Byron Pascal passed away this morning from pneumonia. Byron was in Delta class A70 and was based in Houston his entire career. I will get back with you when I learn of his funeral arrangements, etc., from his widow Ronda.

 ++++

I spoke to Byron's widow this morning and they aren't doing anything until this summer. At that time they will have a celebration of life probably at home. 

Ronda request no flowers be sent - instead she request that if his friends want to do something that they make a donation to their own favorite charity in Byron's name. Cards to her are OK. 

 

In the meantime cards of condolence may be mailed to:

After graduation, Margaret became a bookkeeper. One of the men at the company took her for her first airplane ride in his Piper Cub. It was love at first flight. She was so thrilled with the experience, she decided to get her private pilot's license.  She quickly earned the hours she needed to enter the AAF experimental flying training program to teach qualified female pilots to fly military aircraft. She applied, was accepted, and entered training as a WASP trainee, Class 44-2, in September, 1943.

Obituary................. http://www.memorialobituaries.com/memorials/memorials.cgi?action=Obit&memid=215684&clientid=flint 

Captain Ronald G. Gelineau, USNR (RET)
July 25, 2016 - February 02, 2016 
Birthplace:   Duluth, MN
Resided In:   North Bend, WA
Service:   Pending
Cemetery:   Tahoma National Cemetery

Ronald G. Gelineau a resident of North Bend, WA for 23 years.

Ron was born on July 25, 1931 in Duluth, Minnesota to Bert and Ruth (Zuehlke) Gelineau.  He graduated from high school in Duluth, and later attended the University of Minnesota before beginning his military career.

The following is the Military Vitae highlighting his career:
Captain Ronald G. Gelineau, USNR (RET) is a native of Duluth, MN. He attended the University of Minnesota (Duluth) and enlisted as a Naval Aviation Cadet in November 1951. Completing Flight Training in TBM aircraft, he was commissioned Ensign and designated a Naval Aviator in June 1953. He reported to COMNAVAIRPAC and was assigned to VS-23, the first VS Squadron to transition from TBM to S2F aircraft and deploy to WESTPAC aboard the CVS-37, USS PRINCETON. Returning to CONUS, he was transferred to VU-7 and flew fleet support missions in JD-1, and F9F-5 aircraft until receiving orders as a TAR to NAS Seattle in April 1956. Assigned as VS Assistant Flight Training Officer, he accepted the first S2F aircraft for the Seattle Naval Air Reserve in June 1956 and   was instrumental in transitioning single engine AF and AD Weekend Warriors (Pilots and Aircrew) to the twin engine S2. Released to Inactive in December 1957, he began a career with first West Coast Airlines, and with mergers and acquisitions, Air West, Hughes Airwest, Republic and Northwest Airlines. He accumulated close to 27,000 accident free flight hours in 33 years of airline flying in DC-3, F-27, and DC-9 aircraft. Captain Gelineau retired from Northwest Airlines at the mandatory age of 60 in July 1991. He continued his parallel Naval Air Reserve affiliation for a total of 26 years and 3550 accident free Navy flight hours, flying SNJ, TBM, S2F, JD, F9F, SNB, AF, and T-34 aircraft. Recalled to active duty on 1October 1961, he was released to Inactive Duty in August 1962 (Berlin Wall Crisis). He served on two Reserve Officer Selection Boards, and as C.O. of VS-35T3 and VS-68T2.

Upon his retirement, Ron spent over 20 years farming and ranching – raising cattle and alfalfa in the Sunnyside, WA area.  He married his beloved wife Shannon L. Richmond on May 6, 1988 in Burbank, California.  They moved to North Bend in 1993, where they have remained residents until Ronald’s passing on February 6, 2016 at Swedish Hospital in Issaquah, WA.

Ron was a great story teller and thrived on regaling the listener with stories of his Naval and airline careers.  He was a member of the North West Naval Aviation Rendezvous for 50 years, a member of The Tailhook (Aviation) Association and the Naval Aviation Museum.  Ron loved the television show, “JAG” and at the conclusion of every episode he would dramatically standup at attention and exclaim, “Where do I sign-up?”

Ron is survived by his wife Shannon, his son Grant (wife Amy) Gelineau of Mt Vernon, WA, five grandchildren and one great child.  He is preceded in death by his parents and two children.

A celebration of Ron’s life will be held in the summer of 2016.  A committal service with US Navy military honors will begin at 11am on Monday, July 25, 2016 at Tahoma National Cemetery, 18600 SE 240th Street, Kent, WA 98042-4868.

FYI:     THE HOOK, which is the Journal of Navy Carrier Aviation, listed in the most recent edition, Del Delashmutt as having taken            "The Last Cut".

 

Del hired on at WAL in 1966 but had been off on a medical for many years.

 

Last I heard he was living in Yuma in the winter and the Kenai in summer.

 

Sorry, I have no other details.

Obituary ............ http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/washingtonpost/obituary.aspx?n=Michael-A-Carr&pid=177600284 

Michael Anthony Carr, of Washington, DC, passed peacefully at home in the company of his family on Tuesday, February 2, 2016, after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born in the District of Columbia on July 23, 1963, and was a graduate of Blessed Sacrament School, Gonzaga College High School and the University of Maryland, College Park. In June 1992, Michael married the love of his life, Lisa Manheimer. They were the proud parents of two sons, Joseph Franklin and John Griffith. Michael served in the United States Marines Corps from 1981 until 1985 and continued his military career as a naval aviator. He was a veteran of the Persian Gulf War, ending his service in the US Navy at the rank of Lieutenant Commander. After leaving the Navy in 1996, Michael embarked upon a career as a pilot with Delta Airlines, achieving the rank of Captain of the Boeing 737. Michael's distinctive force in this world was his joy in connecting with people everywhere he went; his love of life and the people that inhabited his journey through it were his everything. He had a gift for maintaining ties from every stage of his life, going back to his days hanging out with his neighborhood gang in Rock Alley, shenanigans with his high school friends from Eye Street, and flying with his Navy and Delta buddies. He collected friends throughout his Naval career-starting with his training days, in the VAW-124 squadron flying the E2-C Hawkeye, and concluding as a flight instructor teaching students to land on aircraft carriers in the T-45 Goshawk. Michael took great pleasure and found deep meaning in spending time with his sons, his wife, family and close friends. His adventurous spirit took him around the world. He loved his bi-annual family camping trips, snowboarding, hiking with his beloved dogs Ajax and Biggie, and discovering delicious eats. Michael was predeceased by his mother, Milagros J. Carr. He is survived by his wife, Lisa; his sons, Joe and John; his father Robert F. Carr II, and his siblings, Chris and his wife Peggy, Tina and her partner Susan Wattik, Rob and his wife Missy, and Sarah and her husband John Windmuller. He was the devoted uncle to 11 nieces and nephews, two grand-nephews and one grand-niece. He also leaves behind many extended family members who loved him both here and in the Philippines. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2016, at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, 3630 Quesada Street, NW, Washington, DC. A visitation will be observed from 10 a.m., with a Funeral Mass to follow at 11 a.m. A reception for family and friends will be held at the Chevy Chase Women's Club, 7931 Connecticut Avenue, Chevy Chase, Maryland from 12:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Interment at Arlington National Cemetery will be at a later date.
