Ladies and Gentlemen,
After receiving a returned newsletter and extensive research from Kihei, HI to
Boca Raton, FL, I can report the passing on January 11, 2017, of Carole S.
Diamond, spouse of Grey Eagle #1310, Marvin H. Diamond, EmpNo 082998.
Marvin subsequently passed on March 7, 2018. The link to Carole’s
notification is: https://www.gpanochfunerals.com/obituary/Carole-Diamond
Apparently, the Diamonds’ had homes in both Kihei and Boca Raton. My
research to find Carole led to an address in Maine which resulted in a returned
Newsletter. Online records still show Marvin with a Kihei address. Fortunately,
Bob Hoch’s notification of Marvin’s passing mentioned a Boca Raton address.
Checking for an obituary for Carole in Boca Raton gave the notification with no
details. Thankfully, the funeral home confirmed Carole and Marvin were
married.

Noel C. Blum
(bad news)
Ladies and gentlemen,
We were notified by Reb Stimson about the death on October 6th, 2019 of Grey
Eagle #2390, Noel C. “Chuck” Blum. His wife, Jamie, predeceased him on
08/02/2015. The link to his obituary is:
https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dfw/obituary.aspx?n=chuck-
blum&pid=194122569
Reb included the following as an addition to the posted obituary:
Chuck entered the Navy as a NavCad in 1957 and got his Naval Aviator Wings in
1958. After Advanced training at NAS Beeville, Texas, Chuck was assigned to
NAS Cecil Field, Jacksonville, Florida where he met and married Jamie Louise
Brown (niece of Lefty Gardner an originator of the Confederate Air Force), the
love of his life. At NAS Cecil Field flying with VU-3, a Utility Squadron, he found
himself ferrying many different types of Navy aircraft across the United
States. Often a check out consisted of being handed an Navy Ops Manual for an
aircraft he had never flown before. Later he moved to VA34 flying the A4D
Skyhawks aboard the USS Enterprise during the Cuban Missile crisis. He left the
Navy in the summer of 1964 and in October 1964 started Class with American
Airlines on the DC6/DC7 as an F/O--F/E. His first base was Nashville (BNA),
where he went from F/E to F/O within a couple of months on the DC6/7. In
February 1966 he transitioned to the L-188 Lockheed Electra as F/O and in 1967
upgraded to Captain on the L-188.
American Airlines provided the B-727 that moved Dr. Martin Luther Kings body
from Memphis after he was killed and Chuck was the Captain for the flight. He
became the APA union representative in grievances arbitrating for pilots with
the Chief Pilots Office at DFW. He retired from AA in September 1995 and
shortly after became Chief pilot for JaGee Corporation, a Ft. Worth grain
company with holdings in Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas, flying the Cessna
421, Learjet and Westwind for 10 years.

In advance of an obituary, Charlie sent the following:
My father was a navy pilot in WW 2. He flew in North Africa at the end
Robert C. Nash
(bad news)
of the war in Europe, patrolling the Straits of Gibraltar in PBYs. He was then sent
to central California with a bunch of Navy pilots to get ready for the invasion of
Japan. He was qualified in and had a lot on time in the Lockheed Ventura. He
flew in the Naval Reserves after the war and was hired by American in 1952. He
flew out of the NYC airports until 1970, when he transferred to SFO. He flew
Convairs, DC-6s and DC-7s, the Electra, the Convair 990, the BAC 1-11, the 707
and the DC-10. He retired at 60 in 1982. After retirement, he and my mother
cruised in a sailboat he built. He also had a Cessna 185 and flew it all over
the western US and Alaska. He spotted fish in Bristol Bay, AK when he was 75.
He had great stories. In 1972, he landed a 707 at SFO that had an
unlocked main gear. As I recall, the FE looked at it through the prism block and
confirmed that it was down but not locked. They landed in a severe crab and
dragged it into lock, blowing the tires. It was written up in the local papers. I am
probably one of the few people who logged right seat time in a Convair 340 at
seven years old.

from his farm in Wadsworth, Illinois. William Davis was a lifelong
Chicagoan, born August 4, 1933. He was a native of the north side, raised
a family in the western suburb of St. Charles, and retired to his farm in
Wadsworth, just north of Gurnee. After graduating high school, he joined
the U.S. Air Force in 1953, and began his flying career as a navigator for
reconnaissance missions. He then returned to Chicago, joined the
reserves, and attended school at Northwestern University where he
graduated in 1959 with a degree in Political Science. After briefly
attending law school at the University of Miami, he decided to pursue a
flying career full time and took a job with American Airlines. In 1971, he
married Sandra Marie Richter of Hopkins, Minnesota, and they started a
family raising two children, Kristen Marie and Michael William.
William Davis served 35 years with the United States military
before retiring as the Commander of the Illinois Air national Guard in
1989. After 30 years of service with American Airlines, he retired as a
Captain in 1993. He became a widow when his wife Sandra Davis died of
cancer in 2000.
He was a curious, compassionate, and scholarly individual. He
was a car and motorcycle enthusiast, a philanthropist, and a public
servant, but he’ll be remembered most as a wonderful father and a loving
husband. He is survived by his two children, Kristen and Michael.”

Dearest Friends and Family,
Most of you know our loving husband and father passed away on June 21, 2018,
after a short and shocking
bout with pancreatic cancer.
Please see the information below regarding our husband/father, Capt. David F.
Durham's, memorial service
and reception, the latter immediately following the service. We are aware that
many of you will not be

honor him.
At the present time, we have not determined the location of David's remains. The
possibilities are Arlington Columbarium in Arlington, Virginia and Punchbowl
Crater in Honolulu, Hawaii.
We, Matt and Trev, have posted a tribute to our father on Facebook.
In addition to below, in the fall we are planning a "Celebration of Life" for our
father and our grandmother, Jeanette "Mimi" Stokes in Strongsville, Ohio, where
all our parents and grandparents, the Durhams and the Stokes, lived for many
years. Mimi passed away on April 8, 2018.
Thank you for all your support and caring during this challenging time for our
family.
Warm alohas,
Dixie, Matt, and Trev
