***** Vietnam Vet. William Colwell's remains were just found in Laos after his plane went down back in 1965. Famigliette sisters Ann and Susan Famigliette- Shilling talk about their lost uncle at their home where they receive the news of him being missing in Glen Cove, NY. (May 16, 2012) Forty-six years after he went missing during the Vietnam War, William Kevin Colwell came home Saturday --to be remembered and honored in the Glen Cove church where he was baptized. The Requiem Mass at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church gave closure to the Air Force flight engineer's family, who learned in March that his remains had been identified from a crash site in Laos.
GLEN COVE, N.Y. -- A funeral mass was held on Long Island Saturday for an Air Force sergeant killed during the Vietnam War.
The remains of Air Force Tech. Sgt. William Kevin Colwell were recently identified at a military lab in Hawaii.
He disappeared in 1965 when his plane crashed in Laos. He was 44 at the time of his disappearance.
Relatives held a funeral mass at St. Patrick Roman Catholic Church in Glen Cove.
"When I saw the coffin, it hit home," said Colwell's niece, Ann Famigliette. "And my sister and I, it's very hard for us to see that part, very hard."
In 2010, a team of researchers recovered bits of human remains from a jungle crash site in Laos.
In March, researchers positively linked the remains to the long missing Colwell.

CMS William Kevin Colwell was a proud member of the United States Air Force.
The Douglas AC-47D, nicknamed Puff the Magic Dragon or Spooky, was a nocturnal savior to American and South Vietnamese troops at besieged outposts deep in Viet Cong and Pathet Lao-held territory.
On 24 December 1965, At 0728 hours the same day, an AC-47D gunship, call sign "Spooky 21," departed DaNang Airfield, South Vietnam on an armed reconnaissance/strike mission over the panhandle of Laos. They were to monitor enemy activity moving through this region known to contain several arteries of the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail.
Shortly before contact was lost with the gunship at 1050 hours, one of the crew broadcast "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, Spooky 21" over the UHF emergency frequency. The aircrews of two separate aircraft who were also operating in this sector heard the gunship's final radio transmission.
The search was terminated at 1500 hours on 26 December when no trace of the aircraft or crew was found.
CMS William Kevin Colwell and his crewmates are still waiting to return from their mission.
None of the SPOOKY 21 crew has yet returned from their last mission. (Lt. Col. Eilers and the remains of the other crewmen will be honored and laid to rest in the Arlington National Cemetery on July 9, 2012 accompanied by the families of each flight crew member.)
