I worked with Laddie at GE Corporate R and D. We both reported to Virgil Stout, manager of Electronics R and D. Laddie had a sharp mind and was well respected by his fellow research colleaques and managers. My office was not that far from Laddie's and recall his frequent meetings with Red Redington discussing the progress and challenges of the MRI research effort. Laddie was always a supporter and advocate for this research. The MRI development by CRD and GE Medical Systems was a huge technical, medical, and business success.
Laddie was a great communicator, constantly on the phone asking questions and gathering information. I thank Laddie for teaching me, through observation, a wee bit of his skill.
I offer my sympathy to Laddie's family. Your memories of Laddie will always be a part of you, his legacy of love and devotion within you.
