To Irving and Family - our condolences to you and the family at this time. May the Creator be with all of you during this period. I had the opportunity to know Lionel while working at FMC - he could talk, told us jokes, stories and brought harmony to the workplace. Here is where I learned about the caring side of him. Fondly and with respect,
B.J. and Wilma Teton-Kidder
