WALTER N. TASHJIAN

I can't beleive how long it's been. Two years...are you kidding me?! Walt loved his kids. Very proud of their accomplishments. He put some good people into this world. He had a pretty positive impact on a lot of people. I wish he could see where all of his help has brought me and my family. He was really sharp. The world needs more of that.

Thought about you today!!! Miss you bunches!

Laura, John, Jim, Pete & Sally -

Your Dad gave me my first "real" accounting job when i was fresh out of college - I'm 43 now and we hadn't seen each other in over 10 years but, he was such a great mentor and teacher that much of his advice and teachings and many great memories have stayed with me to this day.

I just wanted to tell you guys that you kids are all he ever talked about; from the day I started working for him until the last time I spoke to him a year or so...

So missed, Duane and I talk about you every day. How that we only knew you a short time and you blessed us with your wisdom, knowledge, and confidence, you made a big mark on our lives and gave us what we needed to move on in our business. I miss talking to you and you made me laugh everytime I talked to you, and we sang the Mickey Mouse song everytime I answered the phone. There was so much in such a short time. We miss you deeply! There will never be another man like Walt Tashjian in...

One month later I have your picture on my desk. I have you on me daily to "Get It Done!" You were a major influence in my families life
and I'm forever grateful. Thanks
for so much. You are missed.

Nearly a month has passed and I continue to miss your presence in the office. Your energy always made Fridays go by that much faster. I thank you again for all the smiles and laughter that magically appeared when you were around.

I was both saddened and shocked to hear of your loss. I worked for him when he was President/CEO of Texas General Steel in Lubbock, Tx. I admired him greatly - he was a caring and kind employer. My deepest sympathy to all his family.
