Sad News --
Folks,
Many of you didn't know him personally, and many of you did meet him and like me loved him and were loved back by him. One of the most giving people that I know, Harold Schramm died today in Delaware where he was to teach a class in Statistical Process Analysis. Not one to ever let his mind stop working, nor his heart stop giving, Harold spent a good deal of his life with the Cub Cadet and the Cadet line at International Harvester. The original Cub Cadet's drive train between the engine and the transaxle is Harold's in addition to so many many other things that you and I enjoy profoundly. No one could possibly forget Harold's smile and delightful greeting as he showed his Experimental Cub Cadet. Some of you have seen it and him in person and I know that you know what I mean. What you may not know about Harold is that he was a husband and a father who was loved and cherished by his wife Mary and both of their children and two grandchildren. He was gentle, caring, active, accepting and generous. Once I know the time of his funeral arrangements, I will let you know.
If you have any pictures of Harold, Mary and his kids would love to have them. Please email me or call for their address. If you want to send flowers, I should have the details by tomorrow.
Hank
