Dr. Becky was my doctor when I was a little kid, long before I went to work for Frontier!
-Tom Schmidt 
(5/27/13)

Dr. Becky sewed my eye up after I got hit with a spring loaded tongue on a freighter.
-Connie Mcalister 
(5/27/13)

He was my doctor when I lived in Den 16 years.
-Shirley Shackelford

I had my flight attendant physical with Dr. Becky.
-Marcia Glasrud Crump 
(5/27/13)

Oh yeah. " You ARE feeling OK aren't you". 
That is what I remember him saying when we went in 
for our annual physical exam when I worked in the paint shop.
-Paul Ruberg

Bend over and cough was all I ever heard. 
I did pull my back carrying up a "person of size" in a carryon chair on a 580 at DEN gate 20A. 
Becky said take some aspirin and and come back if it doesn't get better. 
My back still aches. Always enjoyed the loading bridge gates better as a SSA.

Dr. Becky had a bad reputation with some airline people, me included. 
He was so vague and not good bed side manner.

"You're well enough to go back to work"
-Ron Abfalter 
(5/27/13)

He was great when I first started seeing him. 
He even made a few house calls back in those days (1955- ?)
This was right after he started practicing. 
Always pleasant! 
He removed my tonsils and also helped on an exploratory surgery on me my senior year of high school. 
He must have changed with age as he was always so nice to my family and especially me. 
I heard he is still alive, 87 years old, but obviously retired.
-Tom Schmidt

I wonder what "D" would say about Becky's diagnosis 
(three times) of mononucleosis regarding a growing lump. 
Second opinion, weeks later...tumor and cancer. 
I think everyone should get second or third opinion when you think it could be serious. 
Thankfully, "D" survived!

I fished at his ranch all the time. He was a nice guy. Had a lot of horses. 
That why people called him a horse doctor.
-Kevin Porreco 
(5/28/13)

I remember him...not fondly!
-Gary Smith 
(5/29/13)

Remember?! He had to examine me after an inflight injury to my shoulder. 
Guess he didn't believe me so he yanked my injured arm up. 
Was sitting on the exam table where my leg reflexed a rather strong kick to his crotch. 
Never saw him ever again!

I remember that it seemed that whenever one of the agents saw him 
for an on-the-job injury he always prescribed 2 days of rest.
-Mary Robertson Harter 
(11/29/18)

My doctor and Dr. Becky partnered an office together in Aurora. A nice man.

To become a station agent you had to pass a typing test, 
then they sent you to Dr. Becky. 
You knew you were hired at that point.
-Steven Ensrud

Dr. Becky was my first doctor after moving to Denver in 1954, 
17 years before I started with Frontier.
-Tom Schmidt 
(11/29/18)

Dr. Becky was also my doctor when I returned to Denver in 1958 after 4 years in the Air Force. 
I then joined Frontier in February of 1959 
and he continued to be my doctor until I was transferred to Billings working as a Salesman. 
He was a very fine physician and knew how to treat patients. 
As my brother Tom mentioned, Dr. Becky was my parents' doctor 
and also my sister and her husband's doctor.
May he rest in peace.

I like Mary's comments. 
I remember a couple of events regarding Dr. Becky. 
I was seen by him many times from my physical as a new hire ramp temp at age 17. 
I conversed with him regarding employee injury status on many occasions. 
But regarding the two events: 
1 He treated me for "the Clap" 
2 We once had a flight from Mexico requesting Dr Becky 
meet the flight with some Lithium for a wacko passenger on board.
-John Dahl 
(11/29/18)

He was my family's doctor for so many years. 
And a personal friend to my parents. 
I remember many fun occasions at his buffalo ranch. 
Prayers for Anita and Brandi.

Dr. Becky discovered my husband’s cancer in its early stage and saved his life in the 1970s. 
Rest In Peace.
