Ask for my testimony for blog of memory of Ellis Gartner

Hello Gartner family,

I was so shocked and deeply sad to get the bad news last month. And I apologize to not be able to participate the ceremony.

As PhD student at Lafarge, I have passed three wonderful years with Ellis Gartner. Without him, I would have never entered into cement industry. His knowledge, intelligence, curiosity and patience as my thesis supervisor as well as his humor, passion to birds and empathies to the others in the life, will be always the reference of my professional and private life. All the memories of having delicious Japanese food in your house, hiking in the mountain around Lyon, feeding your birds 'vio' and 'lin', etc, will always stay in my brain.

I got the new year wish from him in December and I proposed him to see each other in German. However, he suddenly passed always. Even I was not able to come but I will be always the friend of your family. I will let you know when I will be Lyon next time.

Best regards

Jia Wang
