An email I got from a co-worker of my dad's...
ReplyDelete"Hi Adam my name is Bob Brodie and I worked with your Dad for 20 years. He was one of the best people I knew and can hardly believe he has passed. I remember him talking about you and your Mom and your sister and thought how lucky you were to have a Dad like him. I would just like to offer my sincere condolences to all of you and let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Sincerely
Bob Brodie"
And another...
ReplyDelete"Adam my condolences on your father's passing. We worked together from 1990 'til 2002ish when Wiltron/Anritsu sold our product line to a competitor.
I enjoyed working with your dad and playing golf during our "sales meetings", but I never beat him - darn. I still use the Big Berths 5 wood he 'sold' me.
His quiet, southern approach to selling showed this yankee how to deal with Southern & South Central Bell. The respect he had from his customer's was huge.
I will miss him. I hope his passing equaled the dignity with which he lived.
He frequently spoke of the pride he had in you and your sister. How are you and she doing? I recall her medical issues and hope she is doing well. If you have the chance please pass my condolences on to your mother - a quality lady.
Regards, Jeff Burrus"
