LEFTY LEFTWICH 1962 - 1985 AIRCRAFT MECHANIC, FLIGHT ENGINEER, PILOT DEN Email to Billy Walker Just found an obit for pilot Robert Leftwich. http://www.batesfuneralchapel.com/obituaries/Robert-Leftwich/?wms_redirected=1#!/Obituary Was he called Bob or ? rather than Robert. -Jake Lamkins (10/11/16) Re: Robert Leftwich! Never heard "Lefty" called anything 'cept "Lefty!" He was a really good natured fellow and bore the brunt of a lot of good natured kidding ascribed to his slight speech impediment. I never heard anything negative about Lefty. He joined the pilot group as a professional flight engineer on the 727 and progressed from there. -Billy Walker (10/12/16) R L LEFTWICH Pilot seniority date of 5/1/67 per the Sep 1981 FL/ALPA Seniority List. He is not on the Sep 1985 pilots seniority list. the Frontier ALPA roster says he retired in 1985. R L LEFTWICH Emp# 05198 DEN Address in Aurora, CO per the Nov 1984 Frontier Roster. A Mar 1967 article shows him getting his 5 year pin while an aircraft mechanic so he started in Mar 1962. -Jake Lamkins (10/12/16) FLacebook - FL Club FLight West: Lefty Leftwich DEN aircraft mechanic and pilot Lefty Leftwich's memorial webpage is posted: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Lefty_Leftwich.html Still need a photo of him.
