I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I worked with Myrna and was so sad to hear of her passing. Thank you for your dads service.

I was Airlite's first professional HR director, and had the privilege of working with Bud from 1982-1991. He ran all operations on the evening shift and earned the respect of the employees and the Crosby family. He was open to teaching me the ropes of the plastics industry, and he was always on the move. His "office" was being on the floor. And, I had the privilege of taking a class at UNO with his daughter. Rest in peace my friend. Deacon Dan Keller
