THOMAS CRARY
1962 - 1986
RELIABILITY ANALYST, ELECTRICAL ENGINEER
DEN


I thought of you and FRONTIER NEWS when I stumbled across 
the enclosed obituary in this mornings Spokane paper (The Spokesman Review). 
You can tell you're getting old when you start reading 
the obits as part of your morning coffee/paper routine!
I did not know Mr. Crary. 
What initially caught my eye was that he was born in Cando, ND. 
North Dakota is my home state and my Sister and Brother in Law lived in Cando for years. 
My niece, her husband and family live there currently.
Anyway, I then proceeded to read the rest of the obituary only to discover 
that Mr. Crary worked for Frontier for 25 years. 
You may have already been aware of Mr. Crary's passing, 
but I felt it couldn't hurt to send you a note nonetheless.
I enjoy reading the FRONTIER NEWS and was especially sad to read 
of the passing of Irma Wood a couple of editions ago. 
I have many fond memories of Irma from the FL/PEX interchange days.

He is not listed in the Feb 1960 FL Directory.
Thomas E. Crary
per the 5/1/11 ESOP Lost List.
TOM CRARY, reliability analyst
DEN MR - Quality Control and Engineering
per the Jan 1 & Jul 1, 1970 FL telephone directories.
TOM CRARY, no title given
DEN EE - Engineering and Quality Control
per the Nov 1977 FL Quick Reference Directory.
He is not listed in the Nov 1978 and subsequent QRDs.
Assuming the obit is correct about 25 years with FL,
I'm assuming the time period of employment at FL being 1961 to 1986.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Tom. 
Though it's been many years since I've seen him, I still have many fond memories of him. 
I pray that you all will find comfort in your memories of him too.
