In going through the obituaries, noticed on name that
is missing, that is Ramon Spiars.  Not sure of date he passed on, but think it
was 1994 or 1995.  I will try to find out for you.  Ray was Senior Agent for me
in SEA when we closed, he later worked for CO for about 5 years then was
retired at time of his death.

Great hearing from you. 
I checked the Social Security Death Index site and found 
RAMON SPIARS DOB:10 Jul 1931  DOD:06 Jan 1996 
at 80815 (Flagler, Kit Carson, CO) 
Does that look right for Ray?  It was the only listing I could find.
One of our websites is an obituary list and I'll add Ray if this is correct.

Thanks.

Hi ... My dad was Ray Spiars.  He passed away Jan 6, 1996.   Dad started
Frontier in the early 50s in Riverton Wyoming.  He was transferred to
Laramie, Wyoming and then  to Hastings, Nebraska in 1960 (where he was
station manager.  We stayed in Hastings until the summer of 1972 when we
transferred to Grand Island, Nebraska.  Dad and Mom went to Worland, Wyoming
in 1976.  From there, they went to Seattle until Frontier's demise.  My
brothers and I are true Frontier brats and have many fond memories of
Frontier and its employees--they were like family.  I hope to hear back from
you.
