Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends, I was told many years ago from an old timer when I first started, "You are no good if you don't make it there" , It is a dangerous job and anything can happen at any moment, I hate seeing all the LODD out there, I have lost friends on the job also for stupid mistakes that could have been prevented. Another brother gone, rest in peace.
