Best I can correlate is the death of retired USAF General Curtis Emerson LeMay, aka "Old Iron Pants".
He died October 1, 1990 in California and was born in Columbus, OH. I can't locate any federal declaration but governors are permitted to order flags to half mast for persons or events in their states.
LeMay's history is quite the read...look him up. He even did some racing after retirement (sports cars). Best I can come up with.
