Our friend and col­league, Cheryl Pat­ter­son passed away on June 28, 2016. Cheryl was a ded­i­cat­ed 19-year employ­ee of The Great Lakes Tow­ing Com­pa­ny, work­ing as an Accounts Receiv­able Clerk and Recep­tion­ist. Vis­i­tors to the Com­pa­ny knew her and could count on her warm greet­ing and help­ful assistance.

She was the face of the Com­pa­ny for so many years, and she knew every­one … our cus­tomers and ven­dors, every employ­ee or poten­tial can­di­date, the post­man, the neigh­bors, our com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers … every­one.  She was excel­lent in her role at the front desk, and she got to know each and every indi­vid­ual that came through our main entrance doors. They all got to know her too, and it always amazed us how well she could bring them in, make them com­fort­able and was able to share per­son­al sto­ries togeth­er with them … even if they only vis­it­ed once.

The Com­pa­ny will real­ly miss her, and we will too. In her mem­o­ry, the Com­pa­ny flags were low­ered to half-mast.

She was a lov­ing per­son and focused on her fam­i­ly, friends and Church.
