My deepest condolences to the Family of Joe Ewing or as I would call him, ("Clyde"...the glide). What an incredible man he was. I started working with Joe in 1986 supporting USS/USX at IBM in Pittsburgh. He was a brilliant Salesman and was very willing to share his expertise and help me with our sales efforts. He was a great mentor and also a friend that cared. I spoke to Joe occasionally and met even less frequently, but every time we engaged, it was like we never missed a beat. He always told great stories of his kids and grand kids and spoke adoringly about his true love Ginny. I am sorry I was not aware of his passing and thus did pay my respects to the Family. I called his cell phone a few weeks ago and could not connect so I did some research. I know he is greatly missed. With sincere respect, admiration and love, I wish Ginny and his Family the best of life and health. Chris Good - Pittsburgh PA.
