Ralph J. SHOOK

To Mr. Shook's Family,
In 1977, as a brand new, 23 year-old new hire, at Dresser Industries, I met "Mr. Shook" for the first time. In his own deep, clear, well-spoken, always grammatically correct speaking style, Mr. Shook told me then "Young Man, work hard, show even a little bit of interest in this product, and I will make sure you get all the training and support you need to be successful. The AIRETOOL product will serve you quite well in the future." I took him at his word. In early...

Grandpa Ralph was the best. He was always so proud of us and would never forget to say "I love you" when we would talk to him on the phone. I will never forget the funny faces he would make at my brothers, his ability to build or fix just about anything, or how he would always jokingly ask about our love lives. He loved my grandma unconditionally and was an incredibly loving and generous grandfather. I will miss him everyday.

Ralph was a perfect father-in-law; loved his daughters and grandchildren tremendously. Will never forget his look (and the tears) when his daughter left home with me (almost 37 years ago) for sunny Florida; he was a very selfless man and will be missed.
