___ 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 PCN Flight 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).

I would like to thank Buck for passing along the sad news about Capt Pascal.  Please see below for information about condolences.  Also more event details will be added at a later time.

Date: 2/16/2016 4:32:19 PM
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:
Mrs. Ronda Pascal
6237 Cedar Creek Drive
Houston, TX 77057-1803
Thanks,
Bucky Stevens
