. “Frank W. Flittner was ever ready to offer his brilliant talents to help solve the many problems of Arizona highway engineering,” the article said. He had joined the Bureau of Public Roads on Feb. 2, 1931, and served as an associate construction engineer in Phoenix and supervising engineer for southern Arizona and southeastern California.
“In all his work with the Bureau he was careful and thorough. He continually strove for high standards on all work coming within his supervision,” the tribute reads. “Frank Flittner will be long remembered for his engineering ability, sterling character and agreeable personality.” Though his death was unexpected, the tribute noted that he had bouts of poor health over several years. Yet he carried on his work with diligence, it said. Additional biographical information might offer a clue as to his poor health: He served in the Army during World War I and was woundedSo highly regarded was Frank William Flittner that the Arizona Highway Commission, at the suggestion of State Highway Engineer T.S.
The commission authorized O’Connell to place a memorial plaque “with a description fitting to Mr. Flittner’s memory.” There actually are two identical plaques; one on the other side of the underpass is painted over but still visible.
