He is not on the May 1985 domicile list so I will assume he retired in 1985 until more info is received.

He lived to be 93 and passed in 2017. After retirement from Frontier he decided to become an oil man and started his own oil company called Eddy Oil Company. He loved drilling wells! John Thaemert Your dad flew into Spokane a lot him and my dad talked a lot too and I'm glad I got to meet your dad. Jeff Nichols I remember him from Memphis and Denver! Don Miller I remember him flying into LNK. Liz Gomez I remember him well! I flew w/ him many times! Ginger Treptow Lisa, your Dad was such a great person. Always a smile, and his jokes were funny and made me laugh. I was in Customer Service in the Phoenix Station and would have a nice visit everytime he had a flight out of the area. I'm sure you miss him every day. May he Rest In Peace. Cherie Lambourne Lisa, I remember meeting your dad. He was friends with my father, Bob Lambourne. They were from the "greatest generation" of pilots. Bonnie Dahl Lots of us flew with Eddie, Great guy! Jim Haxby I flew with Eddy, a great guy. RIP Eddy Joe Aguirre I'm pretty sure it your Dad was the Capt. on this story. This was on MD-80. Take off out ofJohn Wayne airport, Santa Ana, CA. As the gear came up, the right engine completely shut down, the computer added emergency extra thrust to the left engine. In my own reckoning, if Capt. Morgigno had not been at the controls, FAL would have lost that aircraft. 1st, to lose all that thrust, all at once, and 2nd, then the computer kick in more. I can just imagine what was going on in wheel house. He did a magnificent amazing job. What caused the problem? Mechanic forgot to secure a door that protects equipment in main gear wheel well in case rubber pieces come off the main gear tires. There's no indicator warning lites to tell the doors are secured. When the right gear came up, it squashed the door up into the control cables to the right engine. Consequently it shut it down. Because of that incident those doors were removed off all MD-80s. Henry Rankin I flew with your Dad many times and we laughed so much taxiing out one day we had to wait for T/O for the tears to dry. He was always kind to me and taught me lots. (4/8/20) Pamella Corvelli I flew with Eddy..a nice guy!! He was nice to me and all my medical books I carried around. The rest of the crew would go in to eat at some stop over, and I would stay on the plane to study, and your Dad always brought me a sandwich or piece of pie. He'd say "make us proud medico!" Lisa Morgigno Jaworski Wow! That’s a nice story. Dad had a very generous side to him. He lived to be 93. After he retired from Frontier he started an oil company and drilled wells. He worked almost until the end. Guess what it was called? Eddy Oil Company. Thanks for sharing! (8/22/21)
