I remember first time i worked with him . He brought turning center through back door upstairs at Tri. state . He was the best crane operator in valley We brought many turning centers in. Once i was hooking up chain inside machine and it started to slide off cribbing with me inside he saved me by lifting it up so it could not slide .i always made sure he had cup of coffee and requested him when we needed to bring anything through that door . He will be sadly missed by many
Thanks for the memories . You may be gone , but never forgotten ! We will miss you . LOVE , Mercedes and Cissie
