The Tehachapi News 
Charles C. Krone
Jan. 2, 1920 – April 21, 2005

Charles C. “Charlie” Krone passed away unexpectedly on April 21 2005 in 
Tehachapi at the age of 85. 

He was a loving and devoted husband to Kay, his wife of 63 years, and a 
wonderful father to his daughter Katie. He was like a father to his grandson, 
Scott, who will miss his love and guidance; and his granddaughter 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, Kan. 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.

A celebration of his life will be held May 15 at 4 p.m. at the Tehachapi 
Airport. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of choice.
