Moon was my supervisor at Argonne from the mid 1980s until he retired. A great guy.

Tom, Konnie, Adam, and Ryan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Praying that as each day passes God will bring to mind more happy memories of the times you had with your Dad/Grandpa.

Karen & family,
So sorry to hear about your dads passing. I remember you in Wilmington High school. In fact your grandmother Gladys was married to my Uncle Wilton Brown.

Please accept my condolenses. Moon, Harry and I played golf together in the 80's. We all had a great time. They were great and I had to play out of the woods, sand and rough terrain. Regardless, we had fun. I will remember him in my prayers.

I also am a 36 year employee at ANL and retired in 1994. I worked in a different dept. but our paths crossed quite frequently from the early days all the way through until we retired. We would occasionally disagree but overall we worked well with each other. I thought of him as a very good friend and would like to extend my condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
