Wow....where to start. I still cant believe you're gone. I remember my first day in canmore the burn off at 13 eagle landing and how we too care of business....I remember how your laugh could make the grumpiest morning funny. The day you and I were cruising down highway 1 in shaw's truck trying to figure out where all those god damn fruit flies were coming from.....Then about a week later you found a whole bag of Kiwis that had turned to juice..hahaha. I remember how much fun we had changing the pole in the dump after the Caterpillar backed over it in the middle of the night after the one calls came in. I really missed canmore very soon after I left and I hoped some day to come back to work with you, shaw, jim and the boys but things change so fast you can miss alot in a short time.  Well all I can say is Rest in peace my line brother and every time I see a Raven I am gonna think of what you always used to say...that they were old lineman checking shit out. Keep and eye on me and I will see you on the other side when its my time.
