JACK MCGUIRE 1979 - 1984 DIRECTOR-CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEN Jake I received your e-mail address from Larry Nenstiel tonight and wanted to see how I could get some info on joining the Ex-Frontier group and receiving the newpaper. I worked for Frontier at Headquarters at Stapleton from March 1979 to August 1984. I knew Larry through dealings with customer service. I was the Director of Consumer Affairs, handling all the complaints we received from our passengers. When I was released from Frontier in August, 1984, I went to Frontier Commuter Airlines, creating their Consumer Affairs Department as a consulant. After they closed their doors in December, 1984, I went to work in the Public Affairs Department of Stapleton Int'l Airport. When we moved from Stapleton to Denver Int'l Airport in February, 1995, I was the Terminal Manager, where I stayed until Nov 2003, when I retired. My wife, Marilee, is a flight attendant with Frontier and has been with them since they started flying in 1994. When Hank Lund called me, to see if I would be interested in returning to the new Frontier, I had to decline, but told him I would send Marilee. He laughed and said to send her. I visited all our stations and tried to meet all the station personnel. -Jack McGuire (1/29/08) FLacebook I did not work for the Old Frontier but My Dad was Director of consumer affairs from 1979-86 Jack McGuire. I'd like to show him any memorys from Frontier. He is not on Facebook much with his age. -Scott McGuire (12/27/18) Welcome aboard, Scott! Great hearing from you, especially since I haven't heard from Jack lately. Tell him I said HI! -Jake Lamkins (12/27/18) Thanks for the add! I will definitely let my Dad know you said hi! He is very slow these days and hard for him to get around but his mind is still very sharp! He loves hearing about the old Frontier. I'm glad I can keep him updated with this page! -Scott McGuire (12/31/18) FLacebook posting of pic of 4 FLolks by Scott McGuire The Frontier Airlines car pool peeps! Duke Ellington, Fran Padalecki, Dallas Belt and my Dad Jack. This was taken a few years back -Scott McGuire (9/18/19) Love this pic. Love these guys. -Fran Padalecki (9/18/19) FLacebook Heather Lynn McGuire posted March 26, 2020 at 6:35 PM. Friends and Family, I need to ask for your help. I never imagined me publicly asking for this, yet the stark reality of our new world is making it so. My dad, our dad, (the most compassionate man in the world without a doubt) is in his final earthbound days. Ironies of life - I can't be there to do anything, to say goodbye, to support him, to support her, to bring the community together, because I have the Covid19 wickedness and am still sick and contagious. Because my brother Scott is not able to quarantine (being a pilot) he can't be there in person to help support our parents either. Which has left our brother Kevin and our Mom doing it all on their own. Dad is at home with a wonderful team from Bridges Hospice checking in daily. But with this damn pandemic, they are completely isolated. I can't invite their loving community into their home, to hold their hands, bring meals, play music, share stories and - to grieve with. My ask is that if you know our family- please reach out to Mom and Kevin and empower them with the love, support and faith that they are not alone. Please help us send Dad the knowingness that he is safe, so dearly loved - always will be. I am absolutely, heart wrenchingly, broken wide open that I can't be there. Please message one of us and we will gladly share moms phone number. I don't think she is on social media much right now. With Love, The McGuires Today I lost my hero - My Dad. He was one of the most kind, caring, loving people that I have ever known. He made me the man I am today. I love you Dad .. Rest In Peace. We will have a memorial service later this year and I will keep everyone updated. -Scott McGuire (3/31/20) Lance Ross I am heartbroken. Jack was a wonderful guy who helped mentor me when I started covering Stapleton as a reporter and then when I moved into airline management. I am so lucky to have had him in my life. Kevin McGuire Thanks Lance! My Dad thought very highly of you. Lance Ross He was a true gentleman and a helluva guy. My heart aches for your mom, the three of you, all of the grandkids and his many friends. Heather Lynn McGuire Thank you from our family. We have felt so supported, wrapped in your love and prayers. We had a beautiful call Saturday morning for over an hour. Scott and I, Zoomed in to be with Kevin, Mom and Dad in the living room. Dad could hear all our voices in the room, laughing, crying, poking fun at each other. Of course my brothers had to hit me with some political nudging. Which left me squawking "Dad the boys are bullying me!" I could hear him saying - "Now boys, stop bringing up politics around your sister. When are you ever going to learn?" Dad always has my back. It took him another two days to let go of this beautiful, earthly life. Dad died early this morning, March 31. This life of horseback adventures through the plains of Texas (cue the Marty Robbins music) then serving in the Air Force/Korean War. He was a Deputy Sheriff in San Antonio, TX and served as a volunteer fire fighter. He was a private pilot, taking folks up through magical clouds - bringing them joy with aerodynamic flights - doing spirals and flips, soaring through the skies. Aviation became his thing. People around the globe know Jack McGuire. Dad loved people. Every person that worked with Dad in the airlines: Braniff, Frontier, WACRA around the world- to Love Field/DFW/Stapleton/DIA - from the custodial staff to the CEOs - knew and adored him. The absolute, perfect, Gentlemen keeps coming up in messages. He loved being a friend and a helper. By testimony of my previous post, one can see how loved he is. But his family, damnit he loved us all so much. There has never, never been a moment when any of us questioned his love. Dad didn't tell me or the boys how to live. He lived and let us watch him do it. We are all doing our best following his lead, in our own inherent ways to bring love, joy and understanding to our tiny parts of the world. Dad listened. He listened with his heart. Apparently, (so I hear) he had to bite his tongue a lot with me - but he trusted me. And I always knew I was Loved. I hope all of you know how much you are loved and appreciated. Be good to yourselves. With all my heart, in deep gratitude, Heather. P.S. We will have a gathering/celebration of a magnificent life - whenever we are allowed to hug again. xoxoxo (3/31/20) Facebook - FL Club Jack McGuire flew west yesterday. He was director-consumer affairs 1979 - 1984. -Jake Lamkins (4/1/20) Cal Wolfe I remember Jack well. He was always an upbeat fun guy. Duke Ellington Jack and I have been good friends since 1968, having met while members of a customer service committee at the Air Transport Association. At the time he was with Braniff then later came to work with us at FAL. One could not ask for a better friend or co-worker. Rest in peace my friend. Lance Ross Jack was a good friend through several careers for both of us. My thoughts are with his beloved Marilee McGuire, daughter Heather, and twin sons Scott McGuire and Kevin McGuire. He'll be missed by many, including his FLamily. Ed Huntsman What a great guy - taught me a ton about managing customer service organizations and fixing things when they go wrong. RIP Jack. You made a difference. Scott McGuire Frontier had so many good memories! I remember going to the Frontier Hanger at Stapleton and meeting my Dad for lunch as a young kid! He would always walk us through the hanger and I was always in just awe of the Jets and the smell of jet fuel! Even then I could tell how much my Dad loved being apart of Frontier. Mildred Jackson He was one of the most respected man that ever worked for Frontier. Kayla Pfeiffer Naima RIP Jack Greg Smith Jack was always accessible and provided valuable assistance to Field Managers. Throughout my career with Frontier he was a helpful and a treasure trove of customer service knowledge. It was a pleasure to have known Jack. I am sorry for his family. His passing will leave a hole in their hearts, but the great memories each of them have will fill that hole, a life well lived. (4/1/20) Scott McGuire to Braniff Airlines ex employees webpage: My Dad ( Jack W McGuire) flew west 3-31-2020 He had a 20 plus year career with Braniff! Starting as an agent in San Antonio then working himself up to manager of baggage tracing to eventually Director of Customer Relations. Growing up he would always light up about his Braniff storys! He went on to work for the Original Frontier Airlines, America West Airlines and the Denver Airport both Stapleton and the New Denver Airport. Braniff was just a huge part of his life. He met my mom there at Braniff - he was an agent and she was a flight attendant with Braniff. I am going to miss my Dad everyday but I know he is up in heaven smiling down at me. Love you Dad!

Denver, CO Today we laid to rest a true American hero, my father, with full military honors. Great man and amazing father. R.I.P. Dad. I love and miss you. Lance Ross You know how much your dad meant to me. I'm glad for your mom, for both of you, for Heather ... and especially for him ... that he had the send off he truly deserved. Scott McGuire Thanks Lance. I will always be so proud of him. Jake Lamkins http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Jack_McGuire.html Memorial to Jack McGuire (8/15/20) Heather Lynn McGuire I didn't know this grief could get any deeper. I feel my heart has been ripped out again like the day he died. Every hour. Crashing with no mercy. Rituals help us find our way through life transitions. Having to delay this ritual, one of the first steps of letting go, I think has made it so much harder on us. Not being able to hold vigil with him and then not being able to come together in our grief has put an enormous weight on us. I don't think any of us fully realized it. Now it seems the state of mourning has been reactivated. Our family and a few close local friends of mom and dad, came together for a very short ceremony with Military Funeral Honors at Fort Logan on Friday. Everyone in masks, you couldn't see expressions or love on peoples faces. Everyone's eyes were red from crying. (Even if you are not prone to crying, Taps and the gun salute will move a few tears down your cheek.) But the waves of love and support were stronger than what the eye can see and were definitely felt. "If I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a thing." ~Jack McGuire (8/16/20) Facebook Post Heather Lynn McGuire Mar 31, 2021 · Denver, CO · If you have a smidge of whiskey on hand, give a nod up to the heavens and join us in a toast to Dad.

Lauren Janell Kuban He certainly was a good man. Great husband and Father! (10/4/21) Scott McGuire Tonight I had to fly into San Antonio to pick up one of our Alaska Airlines Airbus 320s jet. I am relocating her (empty) to Los Angeles from San Antonio after some routine maintenance. I don’t fly out of San Antonio often but when I do I sure think of my Father. My Dad (Jack McGuire) began his aviation career here in San Antonio with Braniff International Airways. His love for aviation, which was passed on to me had a huge influence on why I’m a pilot today. He has been gone two years now but I know tonight he is in my Jumpseat! (3/3/22)
