Monday 05/19/14 6:40 pm I’ve recently made a bunch of new friends with people who work for now or who have worked for Kraft in the past. I know a lot of them may not have this list until now so I will explain it to you. This is a list of people who have at one time worked for Kraft Foods in Champaign but who passed. Please look over the list carefully and feel free to add any names that you can think of. So here is the list as it stands today 05/19/14. There are now 344 names on the list. I’ve started to put their job descriptions beside their names. I remember some but not all. I could be wrong on some. Please take a moment and look it over and let me know of any changes that need to be made. I’d like to put our heads together again and see if we can remember what so many of our co-workers died from. Look at the list and try to remember what they died from and let me know. I know a lot would be from heart attacks and cancer.
