Obituary
George L. Launer
George L. Launer, 86, of Brookings died at home on November 7, 2003, of natural causes.
He flew as a fight engineer for Pan American Airlines during and shortly after World War II. Pan American Airlines was under contract to the U.S. Air Force, and 50 years later, he received a U.S. Air Force discharge with medals. After too many close calls, he opted for being an aircraft inspector which he continued until his retirement in 1977.
He kept busy several years owning Brookings Bikes and Boards here in Brookings.
He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Mildred, of Brookings; daughter Sharon Knickerbocker of Bradenton, Fla.; numerous grandchildren and great- grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents and son Roger Launer.
Cremation was under the direction of Redwood Memorial Chapel and Crematory.
