RICHARD DIX
1968 - 1986
STATION AGENT
MKC OMA


Last thing I can remember Larry Vail working was the 
graveyard shift like midnight to 8:00 a.m. when we worked EA.
He transfered to SMF then....but what a crew we had on the graveyard...
that's when Al Louis was hired...Dec. of "72".
I remember Larry said he did not see Al's face until spring 
when the weather turned warm...what memories.

Several OMA agents have gone west.
You might give Ed Hatfield a call for the complete list.

I received word that Richard Dix passed away on December 27, 2012 
after a brief battle with carcinoid colon cancer and angio sarcoma.  
Richard (Dixie) was a station agent in Omaha.  
He was a "gentle giant", a great person, usually worked  forms.  
He is survived by his wife, Kathy, who was diagnosed with cancer 
shortly after Richard's death, and I believe, two children and two grandchildren.  
Kathy is now doing well.  Dixie loved playing pranks.  
Another good man down.
Thanks for all you do.

Sorry to hear about Dix. Talked to him many times when I worked in LNK.

Richard and I went to high school together.
He was the one that encouraged me to apply at Frontier 
when I got out of the Marine Corps in 1968. 
And I must say it was a very good run for me 1968 until the end in 1986.

I remember 'Dixie' from OMA station. 
He was great to work with and with the EAL flights and the 
FAL flights that place was often a 'beehive' due to frequent multi ops. 
Richard Dix was a great team player during all those 
times and always tried to make it fun. 
Prayers for his family members.
RIP Richard Dix

I worked with him when I was in OMA after a system furlough. 
He was a great guy to work with and knew his job inside out. 
Sorry to hear about him.
