My Dearest Yohrling Family,

My deepest sympathy to you during this very sad and emotional time. I hurt just from the loss of a friend and a boss and I know the depth of your feelings are much greater. Please know my prayers are truly with all of you. Mrs. Yohroling, thank you for sharing Mr. Yohrling with all of us at Curtiss-Wright. When he worked in the Gastonia office, there wasn't a day go by that he didn't come over and say "Good Morning" and ask me how I was doing and then we would talk about each others family. It wasn't just chit-chat, he truly cared and remembered to follow up on any areas of concern. He was one of the most inspirational men I have come to know in my life and I will never forget him. Everytime I look around the office, I can still see him and hear him joking with everyone and making the day more pleasant. I truly am sorry he left us so soon. God bless each and everyone of you with the strength to endure the upcoming days!

Love,
Peggy Bradley-CW-Gastonia, NC
