RON GILDEA 1947 - 1966 STATION AGENT, STATION MANAGER, REGIONAL STATION SUPERVISOR, REGIONAL STATION MANAGER, REGIONAL MANAGER LAR SLC DCPR RIW DEN OMA I am not sure if Bob Anderson or Ron Gildea are listed in the "gone west" and I am not sure of the dates of their passing. A RIW agent, Harold Long, recently passed on. Duane Phelps would be able to give you details as he attended the funeral. Still living in the MSO area are Roger Lienau, Bob Bricker, Ron Wagner (FCA), Bob Scott, Tom Schmidt and I. Thanks for keeping us all informed. -Red Barringer (4/29/02) Posted at the FL Club: Red Barringer reports the deaths of Bob Anderson (need info), Ron Gildea, 3/20/90, age 62 and Harold Long, RIW agent, 3/17/02 at age 71. Additional info appreciated. -Jake Lamkins (5/1/02) Once in ALM was suppose to report to GTF the next day. I was told to "leave my car there and fly". Kind of unable to get on a/c since I was only one working the last flight out. Ron Gildea "let" me report 2 days later. I "tore" out of there and made it to GTF, but still put in for some comp time due to union contract. -Ivan Newell (1/27/05) Carl Foster was one of the Regional Mgr of Stns at the time, if I remember correctly. His cohorts in crime were Lou Berets, Ron Gildea and maybe Virg Alvey. Three in total but not sure of the combo at that period in time. -Bill Monday (9/10/09) Ronald Gildea is listed in the 7/15/48 Challenger employee directory as a LAR station agent. The 11/1/55 FL station personnel roster shows R. W. Gildea with an agent seniority date of 8/20/47. The Oct 1958 article says Ron had hired on in 1947 and had been an agent in LAR and SLC, then station manager at CPR and RIW before becoming regional manager supervisor. The 8/15/63 sales & service personnel roster shows his as assistant to the manager of stations. The 4/15/66 sales & service personnel roster shows his as regional manager-sales service. The 7/15/66 sales & service personnel roster does not show him. Ron is not in the Jan 1, 1970 FL telephone directory or the 1977 - 1983 quick reference directories. He may have left the company in 1966. -Jake Lamkins (1/28/10) FL Club Subject: Upgraded memorial webpage RON GILDEA 1947 - 1966 STATION AGENT, STATION MANAGER, REGIONAL STATION SUPERVISOR, REGIONAL STATION MANAGER, REGIONAL MANAGER LAR SLC DCPR RIW DEN OMA http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Ron_Gildea.html Need info on when Ron left the company and obituary.

I was in ISN when he was our regional supervisor. He would come in and ask if we had any problems and if he asked me I would say, "No, we're in good shape." He would say, "OK, that's good, let's go have a cool one." -Daryle Holte (4/28/15)
