BOB HOWARD
1968 - 1986
AIRCRAFT MECHANIC
DEN


My father, J.R. "Bob" Howard, was employed with Frontier airlines from 1968 until
the time (sometime in the mid to late '80s) when it was merged with Peoples
Express.  He passed away on 23 May, 1995 in Sarasota, Florida, and was
buried in Florida National Cemetery.  He was very much a member of the
Frontier "family" and I have fond memories of my many visits "hanging out"
with the flightline maintenance crew. Frontier was - and still is - very
much a "family", and your online memorial to those family members who have
passed is a fitting tribute to their memories.

I worked with Bob, along with Steve Duby and Bob Lowe, at Aspen Airways in 1967.  
In early 68 we all came over to Frontier.  
Scott probably remembers the day his dad went to work with flowers 
drawn on top of his head, that he was totally unaware of.  
When it was pointed out to him he laughed as loud as the rest of us.  
A few years ago I stopped in Hudson and checked the phone book for Bob 
but I guess he had already passed away, the herd is thinning out fast.
