PAUL GAILEY 1966 - 1980 PILOT DEN Paul retired as a first officer with 14 years on Aug. 1, 1980 per the October 1980 FL NEWS. -Jake Lamkins (11/28/04) I just stumbled across your website accidentally yesterday. My father-in-law was a pilot for Frontier, and was hired in 1966. His name was Paul J. Gailey, and unfortunately he passed away on April 12th, 2013 at age 86. I have attached a photo of him, and if you would like to add it to your website. I know Paul's wife and daughter would be very proud. Regards, -Darrin Colegrave (4/18/13) My condolences to you and Paul's family. I have a file on Paul and will start building a memorial webpage for him. I'm attaching an item noting his retirement in 1980. An obituary and any other photos or info you would liked included would be welcome. What did he do after Frontier? Jake Lamkins (4/18/13) Here is a copy of his obituary: Paul J. Gailey, formerly of Punta Gorda, FL, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 12th, 2013 in Flower Mound, TX. He was born on July 4th, 1926 in Cleveland, OH. Paul was a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and proudly served during WWII in Okinawa, Japan. Paul later went on to work as an airline pilot for Eastern Airlines and Frontier Airlines. Paul was a wonderful husband and father, and will be missed by everybody who was lucky enough to know him. He is survived by his loving wife Camilla, and daughter Paula. After retiring from Frontier, Paul actually started his own successful Toy Train restoration business, and was active in the Toy Train Operating Society and the Train Collectors Association. After finally settling into retirement, Paul wrote a yet to be published book that is a historical fiction about the early years of Pan Am. I am in the process of taking his 600 page book, and converting it into a digital format that we can share with others. Paul spent his retirement years at Burnt Store Marina in Punta Gorda, FL with his wife Camilla. Paul was also very proud to see his only daughter, Paula, continue the family tradition by becoming a pilot. Paula is currently a captain for American Eagle Airlines. Here is a link to an article on Paul that may have a photo or two that might be useful. http://donmooreswartales.com/2012/11/07/paul-gailey/ I will look for others from his Frontier days, and I will forward any I find. Thank you so much for adding Paul to your website. His family will truly be amazed to see him on there. It's a great thing you are doing to keep the memories of Frontier alive.

My father loved flying for Frontier and I am honored that he is my father and that I could follow in his footsteps as an aviator.
