To the Memory of Shad l(1"n12-
Shad's gone-but only in person, for the lessons he taught, the good he reflected, the kindness he bestowed will ever remain with and inspire us to greater, nobler, better things.
To know Shad intimately was to love him, for he was the personification of honor, loyalty and integrity, ever ready to help and advise, to sacrifice in aiding a friend. His life represented the highest moral code of ideals.
Shad made friends not enemies-his was a personality that grew, and because of his consistency, deter, miriation and straightforward manner of presentation, gained respect and consideration which made his business career'a successful one.
Shad Krantz so thoroughly won the confidencio, honor and respect of everyone associated with our company that his passing leaves a loneliness, a sadness that is deeply felt by all.
