I knew him for about 7 years....we worked pipeline together. are schedules had us working 70 plus hours with each other and we still would hang out outside of work. let me tell you something.....I used to laugh so hard as a teenager but haven't since...this is the only man that made me laugh so hard my side would hurt and I'd cry. he was so caring and was friendly to a lot of people but had a quick wit to mess with you....my condolences to the family he was a one of a kind man. R.I.P my man.
