I had the opportunity to know Linda while I worked at GE. First in the late 70's at Farrell Road, where she was in my department briefly; we were on the same softball team one summer, too. Then she took another job over at E-Park I think and I didn't see her again until the 80's just before I left GE. Even though my contact with her was brief, when I saw her obituary, all the memories came back of her friendliness, warmth and
spirit. She was one of those persons who made a wonderful impression on everyone I'm sure, no matter how briefly they knew her. My condolences to her family. Teresa R. Petcavage
My friendship with Linda Loo goes back to our GE days. She drew me in, as she did most people, with that huge, bright head of blonde hair and her infectious smile. I knew we’d be great friends. She had a way about her to “inspire” people to do what she wanted. She’d order a group of young male engineers to join a female engineering organization because she’d win a prize for the most recruits. “Get in line, give me 3 dollars and sign here.” They all did, like they had no choice, and they loved it – and her.
She had so many friends, as you can see here today……the problem with that was, you had to stand line to get any attention from her. But when you did, she made you feel so special that you thought you were her one and only BEST FRIEND. One of her friends recently asked her, “Linda, how is it that you have so many people who consider you their best friend.” She had the gift….
Over the years, we went on vacations, played bunco, shopped, had our famous hair-do nights, raised our kids, drank a lot of coffee and pepsi (ice not to exceed the amount of pepsi), she taught me how to make sauce, verdes and beans AND she taught me to like toast.
No matter what was going on in Linda’s life (and there was always something), she always took the time to see what was going on in mine…..she really cared with a heart of gold.
There will be Linda thoughts every day for the rest of my life, all happy and full of laughter. She’d like that because in her own words, “IT’S ALL ABOUT ME.” Rest peacefully, Linda Loo.

To the Cordone and Melfi families... my deepest sympathies. Linda and I were friends many years ago. I worked her with at GE and we had some great New Year's Eve parties together. We lost touch over the years (I moved to Boston) but I can still hear her laughter; hear her telling stories; and remember how she lit up a room whenever she walked in.
