My deepest sympathy to the LaVelle family. As an 18 year old secretary in 1976, I was able to gain his respect (took alot of time as you know him). That meant alot to me. He was a tough manager. He encouraged me to go to college. I did and because of his mentoring, achieved my Masters Degree in Finance. I adopted his philosophy...nothing is impossible if you try. May God bless him and your family. Mr. LaVelle, here is my final "SALUTE" to a great "LEADER" Bonnie Stach(Prater)

My deepest sympathy to the family of Bob LaVelle. He was not only a very fine mentor, but a very good friend. I shall miss him greatly.
