He is tanned and looks no different from our old flying days. He hung up his balloon apparatus a few years ago and cares for his wife. He was always always a wonderful person to fly with. He always reminded me of George Gobel. He had such a natural wit and nice smile. So nice to see you again Marion..

We flew hot air balloons too. We met at a number of ballooning events over the years. He was such a pleasure to be with in or out of the cockpit! RIP ol’ friend! Keep the runway clear, we’ll not be far behind… Karen Berry RIP Marion Bonnie Dahl Marion was a good friend, I loved this man. Ginger Treptow May Marion Tongish Rest in Eternal Peace and my Condolences to his Family and Friends! Tom Robertson Not only did I love to fly with Marion, but he was a good businessman. He was his own general contractor who would build a house for himself, flip it, building his wealth with every house. As a young pilot at the time, I picked his brain for hours at a time on layovers about how to become a financial success. He gave generously of his time. RIP Marion. Ramona Nelson He was a wonderful captain to fly with, and I had quite a few flights with Marion! Fred Watson R.I.P Sir Trish Swanson-Hawk Sending prayers to his family and many friends. R.I.P. (11/25/23) Hi Jake! Here is a photo of Capt. Marion J. Tongish for you to add to his memorial page. I expect it was taken by his wife Veronica (Ronnie) at time he made Captain, and is only one I've seen of him in uniform. He told me he was able to check out as Captain after only 19 months with Frontier; Hire date: 11/13/1957 so upgraded to Capt. about June 1959 at age 28. I am so glad about getting your tripod site back. The memorial page is a wonderful legacy of all who made our airline so special. Thank you! Take care of yourself! -Kathleen Dionne (2/14/24) Thanks, Kathleen, I've added the photo to Marion's webpage. -Jake Lamkins (2/16/24) FLacebook FLIGHT WEST UPDATED Frontier Memorial Webpage MARION TONGISH 1957 - 1986 PILOT DEN http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Marion_Tongish.html Got a photo of him from Jun 1959 when he became a captain.
