Warstler Excellent References upon Request EFTA00727134 THE COMPANY July 18. 2010 To Whom It May Concern. Jason Rose 244 Hudson Si. Cornwall On Hudson, NY 845 234 2677 This is a letter of recommendation for Gary Warstler. It pleases me to be able to do this in his behalf, since it has been a pleasure to work with Gary over the past years As estate manager he is always aware of all that's going on, even the irrigation system. and is always learning as much as he can to be on top of 'the when and how- of the systems operation. For example. he was accustomed to hearing the irrigation system outside his bedroom window every night, which is set to go on at midnight. Whenever he did not hear the system operate he would promptly call or even investigate it himself, as he did on many occasions. One important thing I personally appreciate is Gary's disposition. He was always firm when he needed to be, but there was never a feeling of dread or distress when there was a serv- ice call to be done at the estate. He was always a great person to deal with I think of Gary as a true steward of the household. watching over it as if it were his own. I personally like Gary and enjoy working around him. There are few people I come into con- tact with that I can or will genuinely recommend, Gary Warstler is one of those people. Sincerely yours. c_tr., cc.
