Yet another friend has flown west.  
Neil Wickstrum passed away last Friday, August 10th.  
I met him first in MHK in the fall of 1969. 
I am not sure of his seniority date, 
but am rather sure that he worked in DEN for quite some time after leaving MHK. 
Attached is his obituary from the funeral home's website.

Neil was a great friend and a first class guy. 
I worked with him in MHK from 1968-1973. 
We shared some great times hunting, fishing and sharing life. 
He will be missed greatly by all who knew him. 
We lost a great one!

Letter:
With deep regret that my news is not good.
Neil Wickstrum, my co-worker and friend, cleared the waitlist and flew west.
He was not only a great co-worker but a better friend .
Seems like we're building one heck of an airline in the west.
He will be missed by all of us who worked with him
and had the privilege to call him friend.

If Neil went to DEN when MHK closed, 1/6/83,
he didn't work there long as he is not on the 8/85 DEN Roster
or the 1/1/86 seniority list.
Post your remembrances of Neil.

Neil was in DEN but not sure how long, 
and I can't remember if he was still there when I left in 86 or not.  
He may have headed back to KS to his family.  
I worked with Neil in 79 at MHK.  
Very nice guy, but quieter than most of the guys.

Rest in peace, Neil. 
We knew each other mostly through the telephone and teletype. 
I was in Topeka for 7 of the years that Neil worked in MHK 
and we talked several times each week. 
Such a pleasant man and always willing to help.

Neil was still working in DEN the summer of 85. 
I think he took the early out offered about that time. 
Moved back to MHK and took a different job. 
Neil was a very close friend of mine. 
We had stayed in touch after the Aug. 1986 thing. 
You could not know Neil and not like and respect him.
