Dear Carolyn and Family,
I had the privilege of working with Ladis for many years while he was at ATCO. Ladis was a true gentleman and so very knowledgeable about the insurance industry. I can still hear his very distinctive voice speaking to me as we discussed various subjects. I want to extend my deepest condolences about your loss.

Dear Carolyn and family. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. As you know I worked directly under Ladis for 15 years. He was one of the best Risk Managers in Canada and as my mentor he constantly challenged me to be better and it had a major influence in the remainder of my career. It was my privilege to know him and your family.
