“To Park’s Electronics Business employees, I would like to wish you the very best of luck in the future, and I would like to thank you for your outstanding service to Park over the years. Although most of you never met my father, I am quite sure that, if Jerry was still with us, he also would want to thank you for your outstanding service to Park over the years. I will think of you often, and I surely will miss you. I admire and respect you so very much, and it has been my honor and privilege to work with you over our many years together. I wish each and every one of you the very best of everything in the future,” Brian Shore concluded.
