Detlef M. Frey Obituary
capabilities. He was born January 1962 in Toledo Ohio to Manfred and Ursula Frey. He is survived by his wife Maggie, daughter Julie (Rusty), son Erich, and his parents.
From early on Detlef wanted to be a pilot he
began with cardboard
boxes, moved to gliders and eventually got his private
pilot license, even before he had a driver's license. There was one slight distraction; music. He was a dedicated drummer and founded a band, Myzar, with some friends - but eventually flying won out. After college and ROTC he joined the Air Force Reserve and later flew with Northwest Airlines as a Commercial Pilot. He was flying the B-757 at the time he became disabled.
Detlef was a happy man and never met a person he did not like. He loved to travel especially to Germany where his parents came from. In 1991 he met The love of his life, Maggie, on an airplane, they were married that year in Niagara Falls, NY.
