Jan. 2, 1920 – April 21, 2005
Charles C. "Charlie" Krone passed away 
unexpectedly on April 21 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.
