Not sure what to say?

To the McClelland Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. As many of the other signees have expressed, I started as a young geologist in MEI and immediately was struck by the general warmth and concern for employees that undoubtedly began at the top. Mr. McClelland was always a great presence and yet had the ability to put you at ease and allow you to freely express your opinions. His legacy still lives on in the few dozen of us still at Fugro that began with McClelland, and his impact...

Oh Bram - how we will miss you!
It was a joy and honor to work with a man of such integrity, compassion, brilliance and good humor. You gave so many of us wonderful memories of being friends and associates with a truly fine and decent man. I know Jinni, Darcy and all the children will feel a great loss but also be honored by your legacy and know they were cherished.
Your devoted secretary,

On behalf of all the Martinez Family, we would like to extend our deepest condolonces to all of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers, always.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Bram. As a young engineer starting my career jouney at McClellend Engineers, I was inspired and mentored by Bram and his many disciples. I learned may things during my time there and am eternally greatful. My sincerest condolences to the McClellend family.

Mr. McClelland was an incredible man and I am proud to have worked at MEI.
Terri, I am so sorry for all of you. Having a wonderful father is a big blessing. His memory is engraved in many, many hearts.
A true gentleman and an outstanding engineer!
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

When I was editor of Civil Engineering magazine, I had lunch with Bram in Venice on the island of Torcello. He was a great engineer and a great presence. I felt honored to have met him.

I have many fond memories of Mr. McClelland and family growing up 2 doors down on Tyne Ct. I will never forget them. Mr. McClelland was the most intelligent person I've ever met and respect his character to the fullest extent.

I am very sorry to hear about your dad’s passing although I know it’s been so hard for him the last couple of years. Please pass along my deepest condolences to your mother.

I have nothing but the fondest and most respectful memories of your dad. He was a wonderful person. I remember the first time I met him. I was just a lowly senior tax accountant with Arthur Young at the time and I was sent out to his Fugro McClelland office to gather information for their personal tax...

Mrs. McClelland and family, please accept our deepest sympathies.

Stephanie and I are both proud to be part of the McClelland Engineers family. The culture that Bram was instrumental in creating was special and is reflected in his mantra of "Do it right, do it right the first time, and do it with class." The "McClelland way" set a high bar for many and has shaped the geotechnical engineering profession. I was fortunate to have spent the early years of my career with McClelland...
