The electric power industry will miss Mr. Gates and his contributions, as he was very well respected as a true professional and gave back through his reciprocity with the EERA.

Our prayers are with his family.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. I knew him here in Cincinnati, and spent some time with him and sharing life changes. I understand the loss of a father and grandfather, and know that God will be with you in your time of sorrow.
