IBM was once a family of colleagues. A strong and eternal one. With the passing of several of our IBM loved ones recently...it´s overdue to let the family know how dearly they were loved, admired and now missed. God bless him and keep all of you

So sorry to hear of Mr. McNicholas' passing. Worked with him at IBM in the good old days with Bob McNally, John Bailey, Bob O'Brien, etc. Always a good time.

May he rest in peace.
