___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

With profound sadness the family of Carl Larson, DeLand, Florida, announce his passing on February 1, 2025.

 

Carl was born on November 19, 1940 in Princeton, New Jersey to Arthur and Josephine Larson. Carl’s second love was flying, and he pursued that passion throughout most of his life. He enlisted in the NH Air National Guard as a jet engine mechanic and worked his way up to becoming a flight engineer on the C-97. Simultaneously, he continued his civilian flying career and ultimately retired as a B727 captain for Delta Airlines. Carl’s first love was his wife, Winifred. Married for 63 years, she was the true love of his life and together they built a loving family that included a daughter Sallie and son Gary.

 

Because of his kind spirit and generous heart, Carl made friends easily and in the 25 years they lived in DeLand they easily fit into the community making friends all over the county. Best known for his love of karaoke, there are many fans of his who spoke about watching him perform at various locations around the city often writing his own lyrics and serenading his beloved wife.

 

Carl was preceded in death by his parents Arthur & Josephine (Middlesworth) Larson in May 2005 and his brother William Larson in January 1990. He is survived by his loving wife Winifred Larson, daughter Sallie Larson Nagele of DeLand, FL, son Gary and daughter in law Elizabeth Larson of Houston, TX, granddaughter Ryann Nagele and grandson Sam Nagele both of Woodstock, GA.

 

The family would like to thank the emergency responders and friends from DeLand who helped and assisted during this difficult time.

 

In Lieu of flowers or gifts of condolences the Larson family has asked that donations be made to St. Jude’s, Wounded Warriors, or Mercy Ships.
