James O. (Jimmie) Rea
Hamilton County native James O. (Jimmie) Rea, 83, died Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2001, in a Garland hospital. Rea was born Aug. 18, 1917, to Willie and Alma Rea in the Tonkawa community, where he attended school until it consolidated with Pottsville. After two years there he enrolled in Hamilton where he lettered in football and basketball. He graduated in 1934. A year later, he married
Bertia Lou Waggoner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Waggoner of the Lund Valley community. They made their home in Mart for a short time after the wedding. From an early age, he was an avid enthusiast of anything concerning aeronautics, and shortly after marriage, enrolled in a correspondence course in basic aircraft construction. Upon completion of the course, the couple moved to California to finish his education on-campus. Immediately after graduation he was hired by North American Aircraft Co., and quickly advanced to assistant foreman of a department. When North American began construction of a Grand Prairie plant, he was one of a dozen men selected to establish a school in East Dallas to train men to be productive workers when the plant was completed in early 1941. At that time, Rea was promoted to foreman. His department built an important component of the B-24 Liberator bomber under contract with Consolidated Aircraft in Fort Worth. After the Pearl Harbor attack, he was quickly advanced to general foreman of a division of some 2, 400 workers, the youngest person ever to hold that position for North American. The day after the war’s end in August 1945, the plant was closed and most employees learned of their job termination from repeated messages over local radio stations. Rea, however, was one of a small group of men retained to prepare equipment for shipment to the parent plant in California, and was one of some 80 heavily recruited to transfer to the West Coast facility. He chose, however, to remain in Texas and started a business of reconditioning automobile generators and starters for garages in that part of the state. When Temco - now E-Systems - expanded into manufacturing components for jet fighters, he accepted an offer to head a department in the Grand Prairie plant, and in 1951, transferred to a facility in Garland. After some 15 years he resigned to begin designing heat-treatment installations, and later assisted his son-in-law, George Lyons, in establishing the Lyons-Rea Funeral Home in Rockwall. His interest in aviation remained high throughout his life. He was a licensed pilot, owned several light planes, and served as an officer in the Civil Air Patrol. He also earned an A&E; License as well as becoming an Emergency Medical Technician. He performed consulting work and managed his real estate holdings the latter part of his life. Rea was elected to two terms on the Garland City Council in the mid-1960s, and was active in civic affairs for many years. He was a member of St. Phillip Methodist Church, the Garland Lions Club, Masonic Lodge #441, and the Scottish Rite. Survivors include his wife; daughter Jennifer Lyons of Merit; brothers W.P. Rea of Greenville and Billy Rea of Richardson; sister Mary Marguerite Bergman of Clifton; three grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
