Dear Groch Family,
I am sorry for your loss. I worked for Jeff at Catavo for five years, and over that time he shared so many nice stories about his family and growing up in Chicago. Again, please accept my sympathies.

I had the pleasure of knowing Al since 1989, the year he "retired". I had many pleasant conversations with him, especially about his Grandchildren & Great-grandchildren. He was so proud of them. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Groch Family, I had the pleasure of working with Al. What a wonderful, sweet, gentlemen. He was an inspiration and motivator to me. I know he will be greatly missed.
