Dios Marrero, the executive director of the Bob Hope Airport died Feb. 13. He was 57. Marrero passed away at his home from cancer. He had taken a medical leave from the Burbank airport in January and had undergone surgery for cancer. Marrero had been executive director since 1999. Marrero was a key figure in maintaining the airport’s relationship with the three member cities of the Airport Authority Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena, said Authority President Carl Povilaitis. “He guided the Authority through several complex projects, including substantial security enhancements after 9/11, and he always excelled at managing the airport’s finances throughout his career,” Povilaitis said. Marrero joined the administrative staff in 1980, and was controller and chief financial officer from 1987 until 1999. He is survived by his son, Marc.
