It is with a heavy heart we share the news of Dr. Swithin Chandler’s passing.
“Doc” passed away on Veteran’s Day, 11/11/2014.
He quietly joined the rising sun early that morning. It was a glorious day, and fitting for Doc, who was a humble and proud WWII Veteran.
Doc had been at home since the spring, but continued to see some of you in his apartment for medical care until October. I don’t think we can every really say Doc retired. He loved medicine, pilots and catching up with everyone.
A Celebration of his life and his contributions to the Aviation Community was held at SkyPark Airport on December 13th, 2014. Hundreds of friends, neighbors, pilots and patients attended.
If you would like to make a donation to a favorite charity on Doc’s behalf, his family suggests:
The Wounded Warrior Fund
VFW (Veteran's of Foreign Wars)
