Residence in 1935; Montrose, Montrose Co., CO.4. Obit: DOVER, NH — Jack E. Denison, 82, a longtime resident of Rochester, passed away peacefully on Oct. 3, 2007, at the Hyder Family Hospice House in Dover. Born in Attica, Kan. on Aug. 25, 1925, he spent his youth in California as one of seven children. He served his country in the Coast Guard during World War II and again as an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force during the Korean War. He met his wife, Mary Jane, at a U.S.O. dance in California in June, 1945, and they married on Feb. 7, 1947. They started a family and remained in California until 1956 when Jack's love of aviation led him to a career as a flight engineer for Trans World Airlines. Based in New York and Boston, Mass. for 29 years, he flew around the world on the Lockheed Constellation, the Boeing 707 and the L-1011. When he wasn't flying at work, he was flying at home in an open-cockpit, low-wing sport plane he built in the basement of his Stoneham, Mass. home. When he finished building the plane, he needed a place to park it, so he purchased land across from Skyhaven Airport in Rochester and built a home where he and his wife lived for 33 years after their children were grown. In his early years, Jack built scale model U-control planes, including a TWA Constellation and a Sikorsky 29-A, which are now on display in the New England Air Museum and the Sikorsky Air Museum in Connecticut. One of his last projects was a beautifully crafted cedar wood strip canoe. He was actively involved in the New Hampshire Aviation Historical Society and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) as a member of Chapters 106 and 225. The EAA awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award and an Award of Excellence. Monthly meetings were held in his workshop that he called "The Barn." He guided the chapter members as they restored several experimental airplanes over the years. Many of his friends, young and old, have said Jack was an inspiration and a mentor to them. Jack was a builder, an inventor and a clever innovator who loved spending his free time in The Barn. A steady stream of friends and neighbors would stop by to ask for advice or help with a mechanical problem, to chat or to swap stories by the potbellied woodstove. The popcorn was always fresh, and the fridge in The Barn was filled with beverages that Jack was quick to offer along with a joke and a smile. Jack loved music and dancing with his wife, Mary Jane. The Barn was not only filled with friends, every tool imaginable and aviation memorabilia, but also the sounds of Glenn Miller, Dixieland Jazz and Chet Atkins & Les Paul. The Barn was Jack's Heaven on Earth. He marveled at the beauty of the sunrise each morning and loved to ride his tractor in the fields surrounding his home. He enjoyed bird-watching and hand-feeding a chipmunk he named, "Alvin" that visited him in The Barn every summer for a number of years. He was "Papa" to his family and was always there for his three children. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Jane Denison of York, Maine; his daughter, Susan Anderson and her husband, Bob, of Dexter, Mich.; his daughter, Laurel Denison and her husband, John T. McHenry, of Enfield; his son, Todd Denison and his wife, Debbie, of Stoneham, Mass.; his four grandsons, Don Harrod, Tim Harrod, Michael Denison and his wife, Laura, and Jon Denison, as well as two great-grandsons, Jack R. Denison and Sam Denison. Jack also leaves a brother, James Denison and his wife, Ann, of Long Beach, Calif., as well as a number of nieces and nephews. (New Hampshire Union Leader, Oct 2007)

He was a flight engineer for TWA for 29 years. At home, he flew a sport plane that he built in the basement of his Stoneham, Mass., home. He moved it to Skyhaven Airport and built a home across the street, where he lived for 33 years.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mary Jane Denison of York, Maine; two daughters, Susan Anderson of Dexter, Mich., and Laurel Denison of Enfield; a son, Todd Denison of Stoneham, Mass.; four grandsons; two great-grandsons; a brother; and several nieces and nephews.
WE REMEMBER: He was actively involved in the N.H. Aviation Historical Society and the EAA, which awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award and an Award of Excellence. Jack was a builder, an inventor and a clever innovator who inspired his friends, young and old.

Michelle Jean Downin, (58), of Mesa, Arizona. It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend. Michelle left this world, after a three year battle with cancer, on Friday, May 4, 2007 with all her family at her side, and entered into eternal life with God and those that preceded her. She was raised in Geneseo, IL, where she attended South Side Elementary, then moved to Mesa, AZ in 1959 where she attended Mesa High and Mesa Community College, where she received her Associates degree. Michelle loved her family with all of her heart and soul, and was always inspiring and joyful to be around, even when her body suggested otherwise. She was an elementary school teacher for 19 years and most recently of kindergarten autistic children at Jordan Elementary in Chandler, AZ . She loved those children so very much. The love of roses was also an important part of her life, so much so that she served as a committee member of "The Rose Garden at MCC" in Mesa, where her dedication is honored by a rose bed in her name. Michelle also enjoyed the fellowship of her "Stampin' Up" club. She had such a wonderful talent for making greeting cards that truly expressed her love and concern for others. Her life was all about "others" and not about herself. Michelle was preceded in death by her father Sheldon Cox, and her grandmother Irene Cox. Survivors include her mother and step-father Genevieve and Wally Canty, brother Craig, sister Margo Anders, her husband Don of 34 years, and her beloved children Andrew, James, and Rebecca. We will miss Michelle's smiling and loving face, but we will hold her tightly in our hearts forever. God, please take good care of her. For you have such a precious Love in Your arms right now. We love you Michelle Jean Downin! Celebration of Michelle's Life will be on Saturday, May 12, at 4:00 pm at St. Matthew United Methodist Church, 2540 W. Baseline Rd., Mesa, Arizona.
