Richard sent a message to Miles D. White Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Abbott Laboratories Email Address that said:
My late father, Raymond, served Abbott for over thirty-eight years. We retired in 1980 as Western Regional Manager- Pharmaceutical Products Division. He was surely your most loyal and dedicated manager - ever. Today, he would roll over in his grave if he knew about Abbott's unforgivable and disgusting attack upon it's American workers. Dad's heart would be broken. Shame on you, Mr. White.
