Deepest condolences
All of us here at Abate construction wish the Marsh family our deepest condolences for the loss of such a great man and dear friend.
As site director for Organon Teknika at the West Chester facility in the mid-1990s, I was privileged to have Horace as a resourceful and respected member of my management team. Beyond our professional relationship, Horace and I shared a love of pheasant hunting and traveled often to a lovely farm in Deleware in pursuit of those cunning birds. The good times we shared will always be with me.
With my sincerest condolences to the Marsh family,
Frank V. Crout, Ph.D., Retired
