    Robert M. Werkmeister Sr.

    Robert M. Werkmeister Sr., who retired as an assistant professor of aviation at Penn College, died Dec. 3 at the age of 83. 

    Werkmeister's 1959 graduation from the aviation program at Williamsport Technical Institute (the institution's earliest predecessor) began decades of service to the industry, including work as a mechanic, inspector and a corporate pilot.

    He taught at the Lumley Aviation Center for more than 20 years, retiring during the 2013-14 academic year.

    A full obituary, including details about Friday's visitation and funeral, was published in Saturday's editions of the Williamsport Sun-Gazette.
