Not sure what to say?

I was saddened to read of Mr. Saarinen's passing. He was a wonderful mentor, leader, and boss. He made it easy to be a successful employee. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known him for so many years. My sympathies to Phyllis, Justin, and the rest of the Saarinen family.

I have worked for CDM for the last 33 years and I remember Mr. Saarinen as a person who was always smiling whenever he was in the office. So sad to hear of his passing, my condolences to his family.

Arthur was a good man with great values. He acted on behalf of the environment by helping people and organizations with the same mission. He was always very kind. He will be missed.

Fondly,
Marilyn
