A Memorial Remembrance for GPWA Members
On Monday, here in the U.S., we celebrated Memorial Day, a holiday that honors those who died in active military service. For many of us in the states, it is also a day when we remember those we knew who are no longer with us. For the eighth straight year, we would like to recognize GPWA members that have passed away. Please see inside this thread for the list and let us know if you are aware of anyone who has been left out so we can add their names.

The GPWA welcomes Vavadapart as a new sponsor. They are pleased to be helping our industry grow as members of our community.
