I have two other Bob Johnsons in my FL files. Did you go by Bob? -Jake Lamkins (4/5/10) I started as a Relief Agent in 76', SLC 78', SA in DRO 78'-80', Station Manger in GUC 80'-82', Station Mgr. FMN 82-84', and then was Regional Trans. Mgr for the bus shuttle from 84' through 86'.

I met Bob way back in Jr. High School. I had not seen him since a high school reunion here in Michigan in 1992, but had reconnected with him on FB in the last 6 months. His love of his family, his biking, and his beautiful Colorado came shining through in our conversations. Oh how he loved his Spartans!! I am thankful for those recent conversations with him and will remember his sense of humor. A kind person with a kind soul!! My heart is heavy upon learning this news. Prayers and love to all of you who are his family and closest friends. I know he will be greatly missed." -Shirley Adams Hartman (11/8/10) "I worked with Bob in DRO.

He started as a relief station agent in 1976. He died of a heart attack, age 56. You may post a note in his guestbook. -Jake Lamkins (11/11/10) As I read through old letters that Bob had sent to me, I came across a poem that he had written upon the death of his beloved dog Woody. I believe these words could be said about the man himself. In Bob's words: 5/13/93 "He Gave Me More We found him, we found each other on a crisp spring day. His youth made it easy to make the commitment ...of love. The outdoors defined him from the very first day, and he helped me to find it and love and miss it too. He grew strong swimming the Animas and ascending Red Mountain and he was peaceful and loving while waiting for more. I moved him around and sometimes left him behind, but it was he who would lead us to another peak each time. He was noble, he was soft and he mostly had a smile. I will miss him as I hurry to make another climb. Woody, I have your shadow now, stay close." Bob, I have your shadow now, stay close. Love, -Linda Bartlett Weston (11/11/10) I just reconnected with Bob about 6 months ago.. He worked in Durango and Knew many of my old friends there.

I made a number of good friends with fellow Frontier employees and just recently noticed that one of the best, Bob Johnson, died quite young in 2010.
