Frank Jameson Rees

I joined Frank's company, EMA, in the mid '80s as a young ambitious engineer. I looked at Frank as a great example of entrepreneurship and leadership with the culture and style of his organization from several levels down the chain of command. The company he built with Jim Goodrich and others ultimately saw a second life as a private company in the 21st century when I and two other former Frank Rees employees bought the company out from EDS. It was inconceivable and an honor to me that I was...

I met Frank when I worked as Marlo's personal assistant in Portland. In my limited experience with him, I knew him to be a warm and caring man. I am very sad to hear of his passing. To Marlo, Nicole, Lisa, Ava and all his loved ones I send my sincere love and condolences.

I am very saddened to hear of Frank's passing. He was a unique person with an amazing drive to win that showed itself in tennis and in his days at EMA. His insight was "off the chart" to a younger business associate that he asked to join the team in 1980. And he didn't easily take no for an answer.

Although Frank and I were friends for only a short time, I felt like we were old friends. Seldom do you meet someone with his integrity, kindness, intelligence and optimism.

Our memories of Frank are of a kind, giving soul. Our prayers and love to Marlo and all of the family.

I have many memories from working with Frank during our years at EMA. He was greatly admired as a boss and a very close friend as well to both my husband and me. We have kept in touch for many years since and I will miss those phone conversations. Our sincere condolences to Marlo and the entire family.
