Still enjoying the salami cream cheese & pickle appetizer.

I worked with Mr. Wade and Aljean Taylor, his Executive Assistant at Ameritech Corporate when he was President - Ameritech Bell Group and Vice Chairman -- and oh what a time it was. This was the era when Ameritech was shaping the telecommunications industry and setting models for the rest of the world to attempt to duplicate. We were "breaking through"! He was genuine, intelligent, had a good sense of humor and quite the gentleman.

I owe a tremendous amount of my phone company...

Dear Miriam, All the good memories we have about Chicago include the joyous times we had with you and Brud. He never lost his smile throughtout his illness - a brave,admirable, and special person. Our deepest sympathy to you and the family. Love, Pat and Bruno

It was an honor to know and work for Mr. Wade on the United Way Employee Campaigns at Illinois Bell. I will always remember his kindness and the leadership he provided.

I worked for Illinois Bell and Ameritech Network engineering during the time Mr. Wade served the company. Always the gentleman, he exhibited an open and friendly manner. Mr. Wade entertained discussion and suggestions when others did not. His great desire to make intelligent, positive contributions to Illinois Bell and Ameritech were obvious to all that worked under his leadership.

Mr. Wade's contributions to his family, community and society in general seem to be a fitting...

Now we're really FLYING.......

Miriam,
Love and fond memories, be strong.
Call when you can.

Our love and sympathy to the Wade Family. We will always cherish our memories of Brud, and remember all of the happy times we shared. Love to all of the family.

Dear Miriam:
We were saddened to hear that Orm had died. We have marveled at the grace and courage you both have demonstrated over these trying years. You were both heroic!
We send our sympathy and our prayers to and for your family. May you find peace and comfort in the sure understanding of Orm's place with our good God.
Best wishes,
Dan and Margaret Grady
