Sad News

I just got a phone call that was rather unexpected.
A customer of mine and and local business owner Buddy Glaser (Glaser Steel) passed away last night.

I first met Buddy a few years ago as just another Garage Fab Guy buying some steel and over time cultivated a business relationship with Buddy and his wife Charlotte. They called on me to help with their HVAC needs and I continued to tap his vast knowledge base and swap stories.

Buddy was a great guy and will sorely missed by myself and many in the community.

My deepest sympathies go out to Charlotte Glaser and the entire Glaser Family.

Small world...

I've known Buddy almost all my life, we went to the same church. He was a great guy and we're all missing him very much.

Thanks for posting that up.

That sucks -- unexpected or long illness?

If you ever talked to Buddy, it was 20 years in the making with a number of problems. But most people are going with congestive heart failure as it was fluid around the heart that put him into the hospital Thursday and subsequent organ failure.

Chris,
I know Buddy had been having some health issues as of late, but I think this was still unexpected.

Viewing will be this Thursady from 4-7 at the Shrine of Rememberance.

Services with be this Friday at 1pm, at The Central 7th Day Adventist Church.

Glad I was able to go today and pay my respects to a really great guy.

If friends and family are the true measure of a man's worth, then Buddy Glaser was rich indeed.
Rest in Peace.

:thumbup: truer words cannot be said, though I didn't know Buddy, I know you and am proud to count you as a friend. RIP Buddy.

Thanks Chris, much appreciated.

Feeling a tad bit melancholy today.
