Vayo Con Dios Ben Hickin...
Just got the word that former Colgan Air Captain Ben Hickin took his final ride westbound last night on February 23. Ben was killed in a plane crash on Feb 23 near SHD (Shenandoah Valley Airport) in Virginia.
Ben was an awesome guy and great friend. He leaves behind his wife and 5 children. Ben left Colgan this past summer to work at Gemini Air Cargo. Ben worked at Colgan from 2000 and was a Saab Captain based in Manassas.
A memorial family fund has been established for Ben's family.
You can send your donations to:
Ben Hickin Memorial Family Fund
c/o Captain Travis Simmons
237 Berry Farm Road
Staunton, VA 24401
make checks payable to Travis Simmons. Dupont Community Credit Union will handle the account. Electronic Deposit Funds Transfers will not be set up on this fund. The money saved on the EFT fees can be used for the fund or what ever the donor wishes. Travis, A Colgan Saab Captain is one of Ben's best friends and can be trusted to handle the account.
The Memorial Service will be held on Sunday Feb 26 at 5:00 PM at the Community Fellowship Church in downtown Staunton, VA. The family will have a private burial on Monday
So long bro, you will be missed, now fly west
