The Bakersfield Californian 
Charles C. Krone
Jan. 2, 1920 - Apr. 21, 2005

Independence, KS Stallion Springs, CA 

Charlie passed away unexpectedly on April 21st in Tehachapi, at the age of 85. 
He was a loving and devoted husband to Kay, his wife of 63 years, and a most 
wonderful father to his daughter, Katie. He was like a father to his grandson, 
Scott, who will miss his love and guidance, and his grand-daughter, Kristi, 
who will miss his sweet and caring nature.

Charlie was married in 1942 and went into the 8th Army Air Corps in 1943. He 
was stationed in Thurleigh, England with the 306th Bomb Group as a ball turret 
gunner on a B-17. He flew 35 missions during World War II.

In 1954, Charlie and his family moved from Shawnee, Kansas to Southern 
California. He was employed by Singer/Librascope in Glendale and continued 
working there until his retirement in 1985. Upon retiring, Charlie and Kay 
settled in Stallion Springs for good golf and good friends. Until recently, 
Charlie still flew his beloved 1949 Beechcraft Bonanza and was a member of the 
Octogenarian Pilots Association.

Please join us in a celebration of his life to be held on May 15th at 4:00 
p.m. in the afternoon at the Tehachapi Airport. In lieu of flowers, please 
make donations to the charity of choice.
