Condolences & Memories (30 entries)

• Virginia was one of the nicest, pleasantest and honest persons I have ever worked with. She was very instrumental with building the relationship we now have with Russel Steel today. The unsung hero if you will. My condolences go out to her family, she was one heck of a great lady who I only met once, but will have left a lasting impression on our organization. Sincerely, Lindsay Haag President and owner EMW - Posted by: From the staff and management of Environmental Metal Works Ltd. () on: Sep 17, 2013
