Robert Nees
January 15, 2009
It is with great sadness that we must report the passing of one of our Sales Representatives, Robert Nees. While we could tell you all about the decades of exemplary service to Norco Industries, I think it’s more important to tell you who he was. Robert was a man of God, a husband, a father, and a friend to all that he met. The world is a lesser place without him.
