JIM CHARBONNEAU
1967 - 1986
STATION AGENT, SENIOR STATION AGENT
DEN BOI


Haven't seen Dave W for maybe 6-7 years. Last I knew he was working for
computer maker Hewlit-Packard. There was an FL get-together a couple three
years ago, but I was unable to get there. Sorry to see that Mo Osborne has
died. And of course Jim Charboneau who was also here (also opened BOI with
us) has died. Roger Sorrensen, the Station Mgr, I have heard, is now running
DEN for the new Frontier. Roger was one of the managers who was termed when
the employee buyout group insisted.

I hadn't heard that Jim died.
I intend to publish a list of those who've died in the newsletter.
Can you give me some details such as date, age, cause, where he worked at FL?

I guess it was 5-6 years ago that Jim Charbonneau died. He started with
Frontier as an agent same time as I did, May 1967. Previously he had worked
for some other airline as a flight engineer. He worked at DEN station until
1979 when he helped opened BOI station in June. Jim returned to Denver, and
worked again as a flight officer. He died from cancer.  I wish I could tell you more.
Jim had just one child, a daughter, who sometimes came to Boise to stay with
him. Jim was a real decent guy who had much good-will for everyone. I am
going to pass this along to Larry Middleton, maybe he can help with dates
and a more accurate account.

Yes that's Jim Charbonneau. 
I have sent Larry Middleton e-mail to see if he can add or give more exact information on what I have told you.
Did you know that Dave Richards is gone?  
This, too, is a few years back. Dave also started with Frontier about the same time Jim and I did, 
and moved from DEN to SEA station when it opened. I was told he shot himself. Never heard more.

Posted at FL Club:
Just got word that Jim Charbonneau died in 1993.  
He started as an agent in DEN in 1967 then went to BOI in 1979.  
I understand he may have returned to DEN and become a pilot.  
Does anyone have more info.  Jim was 59 when he died of cancer.

Jake,just read the msg about Jim C. I worked in Denver with a Charbonneau, but don't think his first name was Jim. 
Can't remember exactly -(Alzheimers) but I think the agent I worked with was Frank Charbonneau. 
Not sure. Anywho, the C that I worked with was an agent in DEN--know for sure he was never a pilot.

I worked with JD in tower pm shift and used to yak on radio with him.

His name was definitely Jim Charbonneau.
I worked with him for a couple of years in Boise before tranfering out. 
He was a really nice soft spoken kind of guy. Sorry to hear of his passing away
