I did not know Gilbert Siegel personally, but I am proud to call his son Ken my friend. If it is fair to judge a man by the qualities he instills in his children, then I know we lost a good man here. Ken, I am so sorry for your loss. You have so much support among your friends at work. please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything you need.
