Sonny Burkette's widow, "Sam" passed away in her sleep, Wednesday night, March 5, 2008. She had been spending her time between the hospital and a nursing home for the last few months. She had suffered several stokes, and her emphysema was taking a great toll on her. The last weeks she did not recognize her family. It was Sams's wish that no service be held and she be cremated, like her husband. She did tell me last summer, that instead of cards and flowers, donations could be made to St. Judes hospital in Memphis. Please pass this on to all who have known Sonny and Sheila... ****** (Source Ed Smith) |

March 6, 2007 Capt. Darryl Snider Memorial Information It is with great sadness to report that NWA Capt. Darryl Snider passed away Sunday at the Harris Methodist Hospital in Ft. Worth, Texas. His family and friends were with him during his final hours. Darryl had been in a coma since Feb. 28 after suffering a terrible fall at his home. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Darryl's wife Felesha and their family. Influenced by a large and loving family that included a father and brothers in the airline industry, Darryl always wanted to be an airline pilot and was hired by Republic Airlines in June 1985. Most recently, he was a NWA 757 captain and was serving as an ALPA executive vice president.
