DALLAS — On Friday night, the Dallas skyline paid tribute to the late Southwest Airlines founder, Herb Kelleher.
The Omni Hotel and the Bank of America building lit up in Southwest's theme colors of red, blue and yellow. Kelleher ran Southwest Airlines for 30 years, growing it from a small regional carrier to the largest domestic airline in the country. It was that journey, his style and try-anything attitude that he is remembered for.
Many have taken to social media to send their condolences. Southwest created a website that details Kelleher's legacy through the decades for those who would like to pay tribute.
