Taps: James L. Copelan

Posted on May 18, 2020 in Taps

James L. Copelan, 75, of Mililani, Hawai‘i, died in Mililani on Sunday, May 3, 2020. He was born in Honolulu, HI. Private services held.

This obituary is probably for James L. Copelan, a retiree who served in the 154th Consolidated Maintenance Squadron for many years as a member of the command staff. In civilian life, James retired from the United States Postal Service after a long career.

Since 2016, the Honolulu Star Advertiser has chosen not to list more than basic information in their obituaries. Unless the family buys a “family placed obituary”, there is no information about survivors, where the individual worked or where services are scheduled. More information in an earlier Retiree News post.
