Mr Heske collapsed and died suddenly at his home on 22 March.
“Gerrit was more than a co-worker – he was a friend, and on behalf of the company and our fellow colleagues, we express our deepest condolences to his family,” said John A Hayes, chairman, president and CEO. “While we grieve for our loss, both personally and professionally, we remain focused on the day-to-day tasks at hand. We will build on the legacy that Gerrit left us.”
