Condolences for your loss,
Fred was a good man and is one of a handful of people who really influenced my career in aviation. I worked for him in the late ’90s at AirTran after the ValuJet merger. His guidance and help lead me to a new career path that gives me and my family much happiness. Now that I am in my 50s I try to pay what he did for me forward at Southwest.
And I remember him talking about antiques and his wife! Glad they had much more time together.
With respect,
Ken Barone

So many memories of Marilyn. We first met at New Salem Baptist Church when I shared my Sunday School Quarterly with her. We were 12 years old. There were so many fun years and that was what we talked about a few weeks before she died. We shared old memories.
I loved visiting after church on Sundays. We talked about her family dogs King and Duke and her big old sow Myrtle. I didn’t like her one little bit. Those were good times.
David and Richard I am thinking about you both.
