Mary Jo.
We are so sorry to hear about Ad passing. He was a good man.
I worked with Ad at PEC going back to the 80's. I really enjoyed working with Him. He always had a positive attitude and a smile for everyone.
We were both Iowa Hawkeye fans and we shared many discussions about the Hawks.
I was a part of the "lunch bunch" until the late 90's. I transferred from PEC to the Westfield site.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mary Jo, Sean & Kelly -
We are so sorry about Addy. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding as you walk this path. Isaiah 41:13 says "For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Our prayers are with you.
