Gary and I go back to Weaver Airline school in Kansas City in October 1960. We traveled together to Chicago to interview with Delta Airlines. We worked together in Chicago, Cincinnati, and Atlanta. Kathy and I will miss Gary very much. I know he is in a better place and we will see him again one day. I will always remember him by his nickname, Frag, given to him while in crew scheduling in Chicago. Gary and I hired on together and we retired together. Jim and Kathy Miller, Flint Texas.

Marcia is still finalizing the funeral plans but they do know the service will be held at Fayetteville First United Methodist here in Fayetteville GA and the funeral will be at Mowell Funeral Home also here in Fayetteville.

I'm so sorry to have to pass along this sad news. If you have any questions you can contact Marcia at 770-461-2274.
