Kenneth Pierson Obituary
He loved to do volunteer work and started this early in life with the Boy Scouts of America. He had an explorer Scout post where he taught young people how to fly while working at PSA. Many became successful commercial airline pilots. He also taught flying to young people in Julian, Borrego and Ramona. He truly loved doing this! He was also a football and soccer coach in Julian. His last and most recent service was with the Senior Volunteer Sheriff's Patrol group in Ramona. He absolutely loved his job and all of the people he worked with.
Ken was an avid gardener and served as President of the East County Rose Society and the San Diego Iris Society.
He was a kind and fun loving man and he will be greatly missed and remembered with lots of love by everyone, especially his family.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Kenneth's honor on Saturday, October 12, 2013, at 2pm at Bonham Bros & Stewart Mortuary Chapel in Ramona.

Ken Pierson, a mentor and guiding light in my early life! As a kid who grew up around the Burbank Airport, both Ken Pierson
and Tony Claessens (Pilots with PSA), allowed me to become the only member of
PSA's Post 1011 outside of the San Diego area--ever! As a 15 year old, riding
the cockpit "Jump-Seat" to and from Burbank
to attend pilot ground school provided
by PSA. After 25 years with American Airlines, I owe my carrier to both Ken and Tony. I will miss our conversations
during the "Dinner Hour"! Ken, your cleared for take-off, Runway 27--wind calm......

I was one of the people Ken visited through the volunteer program and I always enjoyed his visits. I will miss his smile and his sense of humor.
Rest in peace.

Kenny and I went to work for PSA about the same time he came in 1959 and I came in 1960. We flew the old Air Force contract C-47 together and many times on the Lockheed Electra. I have many fond memories of Kenny in the old days. Rest in Peace and farewell
