Obituary : Retired Western/Delta Airlines Capt.
W.C. “Bill” Evans was cleared for final take off Saturday, April 9, from his
home in Green Valley, AZ.
Expected to greet him upon arrival at his final
destination are his sons Scotty, Jim and Jerry, his parents Jerome and Inez;
also Roslyn, Marty and other loved ones who got there first.
Those left in the waiting area include his wife
Sherry, son Doug (wife Meghan), daughters-in-law Suzie and Melinda, sister Gray
Darden, grandchildren Ty, Tanner, Hope and Quinn. And many nephews and nieces.
And a legion of those who loved him.
Bill was born in the Panama Canal zone in 1929
where he lived until high school graduation. He then went to Colorado A & M
(now CSU). He served in the Air Force in Korea as a fighter pilot. After the
Air Force he started with Western Airlines which merged with Delta. He flew for
32 happy years.
When he retired, he moved to Ennis, Montana, where
he met his wife, Sherry. He also resided at times in Ft. Collins, CO, Estes
Park, CO, Sequim, WA, and finally in Green Valley, AZ. But his heart was always
in Montana.
His smile, kindness and sense of humor will be
fondly remembered and missed.
A celebration of life will be held at Desert Hills
Lutheran Church on Saturday, April 23, at 11a.m. followed by a reception at the
Green Valley Country Club.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the GV Food Bank.
To Bill's survivors: I flew with Bill on the brand new 737s in Denver in 1970. It was a pleasure to be with him then and learn about Wyoming and Montana as well as his flying techniques.
