”R.I.P. Kim Veverka. You were a great supervisor at the BJ. We had many good talks. Oh how you loved your sons, golf and the Browns.”
When I asked for more details, Cheryl replied:
He was a supervisor in Finance. Oversaw Cash Processing. He was only there about 2 years and was let go the "Black Thursday" of all those layoffs. There were 8 let go in Finance. He was an avid golfer, Browns, Cavs and Indians fan. Had 2 sons. He was only 59 at his passing on Friday. His obit was in the paper yesterday.
