Vincent Jasinski, Air Force Officer, Is Killed In Crash Young Spring Valley Attorney Loses His Life While On Training Flight At Army Air Base At Lake Charles, La. Word came to Spring Valley last Saturday morning that Lieut. Vincent J. Jasinski had been killed Friday afternoon while on a training flight at the Army Air Base at Lake Charles, Louisiana. Details of the accident that caused his death are meagre. It is understood, however, that the plane in which he was flying collided with another ship and that all the occupants of both planes were killed. Lieut. Jasinski entered the army July 22, 1942, as a volunteer officer candidate. His law parner, Clifford J. Freund, had followed the same course in May of that year and with the enlistment of Jasinski it was necessary to close the law office. Reporting at Campl Upton he was assigned to the Army Air Force and sent to Miami Beach, Fla., for basic training. After the completion of basic training he entered Officer Candidate School, receiving his commission as a second lieutenant in March of this year. After his graduation, at his request, he was given assignment as an intelligence officer. From Miami Beach he was transferred to Harrisburg, Pa., for further schooling in inteligence. Upon completion of this course he enjoyed a ten-day visit at home before reporting for further training with a bomber group at Will Rogers Field, Okla. He had been at Lake Charles a little more than two weeks when the fatal accident occurred. Mrs. Jasinksi, the former Miss Elinor Feigl of South Monsey, who was married to Lieut. Jasinski in June, 1941, was wth her husband at Laek Charles. She has been with him throughout almost the entire eleven months of his army service. The body of the young officer reached Spring Valley today and services with a solemn requiem mass will be held at St. Joseph's Church at 10 o'clock Monday morning, with the Rev. James P. Hearon, former rector of the Spring Valley Church, officiating. Burial will be at St. Anthony's Cemetery, Nanuet. Lieut. Jasinski would have been 21 years old next October. He was born in Spring Valley October 23, 1912, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Jasinski. He attended the Spring Valley schools, graduating from high school in 1929. He attended Notre Dame University and Temple University, and studied law at Fordham Law School, graduating in 1936. Extracted from Newspapers.com |
