Pozie is seen here at work in a DC-8 in 1970. He is survived by his devoted and loving wife Esther, daughters Paula and Tina Doran, son in-law Michael and granddaughters Alyssa and Briana. He was born in Milford, MA., lived in Bellport, NY for many years, and retired to Clearwater, FL.

He served as an aircraft mechanic for Consairway (a wartime air transport service set up by the Consolidated Aircraft Co. under contract to the Army’s Air Transport Command) from Feb. 17, 1943 (age 22) until August 14, 1945 when World War II ended. He served in the Pacific Theater (Nadzab and Biak Island), off New Guinea.

Pozie was employed for many years by Seaboard, and later Flying Tigers, as a Flight Engineer on aircraft ranging from Super Constellations to the Boeing 747. He was made a life-long member of the Long Island Soaring Association (LISA) for his years of service and dedication to the flying club; for both maintaining aircraft and providing flight instruction to new pilots.
