JOHN BRAMLEY

FLIGHT ATTENDANT
DEN


I am deeply sorry to, once again, pass along sad news about another one of our flight attendant friends in DEN.   
John was a flight attendant at the original FAL just senior to me back in 1980.  Very sweet guy.  Will be sadly missed.

I'm sad to hear about John.
I had John as a flight attendant on one of my business trips about a year ago.  
I stayed on the plane after everyone had deplaned and had about a 20 minute chat with him to catch up.  
I'm glad I did.  He was so proud of his girls and felt good about Frontier surviving their financial trouble.  
It was so good to see him.

This is so heartbreaking..again another beautiful soul moves on. 
John and I went waaay back.
He and I became friends in mountineering club at Thomas Jefferson H.S in Denver. 
We reunited when we ran into each other in the crew room in Denver.
He really was such a kind hearted guy. My heart goes out to his family and friends. 
Peace on John,

Another former Frontier Flight Attendant has passed away. 
John A. Bramley passed away earlier this week on a climb on Long's Peak in Colorado. 
His obituary is in the Denver Post 
He was a delightful man with a joyous smile and a very accomplished long distance runner at Colorado State University. 
I remember that his first-born daughter was born on the very same day that the Original Frontier went bankrupt!

I didn't know John but he was on my mind as I ascended Long's Peak. 
I was one of only a few who witnessed John's body being lifted and flown from the snowfield on 9/11. 
I believe John's spirit was with me and 3 other friends while we climbed.

John Bramley was happy in his last years, I saw him quite often. 
His death was a very unfortunate tragedy, 
a fall while he was climbing. 
Something he loved and enjoyed very much.

Re photo:
F/O John Jason is on the left. (We retired at UPS.) 
Captain Bill McCaffrey has four stripes on his sleeve.
I didn't know Doug very well, until UPS.
He wasn't a pilot for UPS, 
but had a contract with them for a scheduling program.

Thanks for the correction. 
I wondered about the stripes but they were ID'd that way in Stearns' book.

John was one of just a few who worked for both the original and current Frontier. 
He was always fun to have on a flight. 
I specifically recall a sunset shared with John over food and drink 
on the rooftop terrace of the Ramada Gas Lamp in San Diego. 
As we watched the lights come up on Downtown and the harbor with airplanes 
approaching Lindberg in the background we talked of life and it's important moments. 
John was quirky to say the least but all who spent time with him grew to enjoy it immensely. 
He was famous for his apron that hid a fully developed modeled set of male genitalia 
including hair below a flap that he would expose to unsuspecting crew members. 
He got me one day as I made my pre-departure announcements from the head 
of the aisle looking aft down its length at John in the rear galley. 
Suffice to say his "reveal" left me standing slack jawed as I searched for words. 
No one on the airplane but I had been witness to it. 
The day he passed 9-11-09 his nephew Paulino and I flew a turn to SEA. 
Paulino had told me that John was missing on "his mountain". 
As we descended into DEN just East of Longs peak I couldn't help but 
feel we were saying goodbye even though his body had yet to be found :( 
I feel John and these "others" still walk among us. 
His best friend Greg left our sequence a few days later to attend John's memorial service. 
I remained on the trip but felt the need to recognize our loss the morning of the service. 
Prior to boarding I played Carol Woods version of "Let It Be" 
from the Beatles musical Across the Universe on the PA for the crew for John. 
Later that day I spoke with my wife on the phone who had attended the memorial and asked how it was. 
She said very sad but it was nice and they played some of John's favorite music. 
One of the songs was......... Let It Be. 
Yep, our departed friends and family live on as long as they continue to inspire us.
