Message to Clearon Employees:

As most of you know by now, we lost our good friend and co-worker Saturday July 22, 2007. This is particularly hard for each of us to accept, because of the special man Wally was. He had a vast knowledge of the plant and was extremely cool during any situation. Wally was always a gentleman and willing to help anyway he could.

A very small consolation is Wally died doing something he loved.  According to Lee Chapman (he talked to someone that was on the ride with him) during his last ride, Wally remarked about how good he was feeling and generally was in a great mood. Everyone that talked to him on Wednesday has had similar stories to relate.

This is really a tragic loss for all of us that knew him. Wally will be missed very much both as an employee at Clearon and as a good friend.  Our condolences go out to his loved ones. 

Sincerely

Dick Ely
