I worked at GML from 1979-1988, and would likely still be a part of Allied Signal / Honeywell had I not chosen to stay at home to raise my children. It was a fabulous place to work and it really was like one big happy family. I met so many wonderful people and had so many great experiences in my time there. Your father was a very well respected and gentle man. I knew him enough to say hello and have a few words, and he knew my name and would always acknowledge me. After hearing the family who spoke so lovingly about him yesterday, you gave us all a very personal glimpse into the life of a truly remarkable man. It's wonderful that you've had such an amazing man in your lives.</p> <p>I want to apologize for not approaching the family yesterday. I got a little caught up in the "Garrett Reunion", seeing some people I hadn't seen for twenty years.</p> <p>What I would like to say to your family is this. Your love for your father, poppa, Bill is the greatest gift you gave him and I just know he was so proud of all of you yesterday, and every day.</p> <p>I felt fortunate to be a part of Bill's Celebration of Life. Thank you.</p> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:59:07 -0700 Judy comment 5182 at http://ideas.4brad.com http://ideas.4brad.com/wctate <p>Bill Tate died April 10, 2008 after a mercifully short battle with Cancer.</p> <p>A memorial service will take place Tuesday April 15 at noon at Turner &amp; Porter Peel Chapel, 2180 Hurontario St. near Queensway in Mississauga.
