I’m corrugating in Heaven

It’s a wonderful day

They put me in charge

Of the P.O.P. Display



The corrugator is different

And so are the rest

One thing is for sure

I’m doing what I love best



As I ride my golf cart

With my cell phone to my ear

The smell of production

Fills the air



After the orders are placed

And we make a big sale

We all get together

For a weekend at Vail



Though my years at Acorn

Were nothing but great

My highlight was winning

Best supplier 4 years straight



I loved Acorn so much

I was gleaming with pride

Also my love for my family

I did not hide



Please shed no more tears

For my soul is at rest

Love one another

Live life for the best



Though they may not see me

As they walk in the door

I will still be at Acorn

Walking the floor





--In memory of PMG

Sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I only met Phil a couple of times. From those few minutes of converation with him I experienced a man who was intelligent, honest, and actually listened to what I had to say. This gave me great respect for him and his way of conducting business. The world has lost a great man. Rick

Dear Lyn,

My deepest sympathies to you, Scott, Andrea and Gary. I have warm memories of your family and mine getting together, especially when Scott and Patrick were little. (I still have some great pictures!) Dad highly valued his relationship with Phillip both in and outside of work over the past 60+ yrs. He speaks about him often.

Lyn,



Please accept my condolences. I know my father felt very close to Phillip for over 60 years -- and gave his heart and soul to help build Acorn. He greatly respected Phillip's leadership and was very proud to call him his relative. My sympathy to you, Scott, Andrea and Gary.

I have worked at Acorn 20 of the 49

years Mr. Goldstein lead the company. I have seen a lot of

people come and go; including family, the pet dog, friends, business associates and employees.

I have gone through good times and

bad times with Mr. Goldstein to look

up to for strong decisions and tough

leadership. I will miss that about

him and also a sense of humor that

he could and did display too. His

generosity with charities and his

employees has affected many thousands of people; and that is a

wonderful legacy to leave on this

earth. Thank you for sharing him

with us. We certainly will miss

him and think of him often.

Sandy
