OVERSEAS NATIONAL AIRWAYSFRANK SZARO IN MEMORIAM REST IN PEACE |
 Frank Szaro was a flight engineer with ONA from 1968 to 1978. He passed away on June 19, 1983 from a sudden heart attack. Frank was working with Capitol Airlines at the time. Frank lived in Rhode Island and flew out of JFK. Flying for ONA was Frank´s favorite job. Frank left wife and six children to whom ONA Crew extend their deepest felt condolences. Frank´s son Scott Scaro, visited Oahu March 2005 with his wife - his dad used to say it was his favorite layover. They even got to experience a go-around on that 45 degree angle tricky approach to the runway. They also got a chance to eat in Chuck's Steakhouse just before it closed for good while they were there. The restaurant is in the basement around the corner from the hotels on Waikiki Beach. |
The Final Flight © By Patty L. Hamon I watched a shooting star as it raced across the sky. I was awestruck by it's beauty in the darkness of the night. Surrounding it like diamonds, like tiny twinkling lights, a million shining brothers witnessing it's flight. Sometimes in the evening I will stand outside my door and admire the peaceful heavens and I'll glimpse a shooting star. I'll wonder at it's glory and the nature of all things, at the silence of it's dying and sweet sadness, it's death brings. When the angels look down on us as we go about our lives, to them, a fleeting moment like the shooting stars, we spy, will our passing go unnoticed into the darkest night? Will we be a brilliant beacon, like that star on it's last flight? Lord, I want to shine that brightly and like moths drawn to a flame, bring others to Your mercy and honor to Your name. And when my days are finished may You look upon my life like a glorious shooting star as I take my final flight |
