Gerald "Gino" Palermo
To the Family of Ronald Yamagata,
I apologize that I wasn't able to pay my respects in person. I wish to extend my deepest condolences to you on your loss. Yama was a General Foreman when I was hired in 1980 and my remembrances of him are of his good humor, his kindness, and his fairness. He would usually call me "Haole Boy" and I never would have wanted it any other way.
