Maryland Man Identified As Eighth Victim In Deadly Amtrak Accident

We have been notified that our associate, Bob Gildersleeve, lost his life in the Amtrak train derailment Tuesday night. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and colleague. Bob was with Ecolab for 22 years, most recently as vice president of Corporate Accounts for our Institutional business in North America. Bob was an exceptional leader and was instrumental to our success. We will greatly miss him, and our thoughts go out to his beloved family members and friends.

The family spent every second trying to track down the father of two. They drove to Philadelphia from Baltimore yesterday morning after an agonizing night.
