Nan Tanker, a senior customer service associate for Yamaha Corporation of America’s Band & Orchestral division, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, December 28th. During her 10 years of service with Yamaha, Nan served as a customer service associate and was promoted to senior customer service associate in 2004. During her tenure, Nan worked with many of the division’s largest dealers, developing strong relationships along the way. She was an instrumental part of the inaugural customer service team that helped bridge the gap during the B&O division’s transition from Grand Rapids, Mich. to Buena Park, Calif. in 2003.
The company notes that, "Nan was a beloved wife, sister, mother, co-worker and dealer liaison. Her commitment to excellence, quick wit, friendly voice and terrific sense of humor will be greatly missed."
