With much sadness, I learned today that D.D. passed away. And it goes without saying: for the years we worked together (and 'til this day) D.D. was that special someone that I admired, respected, and hopelessly tried to emulate behind a Hobart welding hood. D.D. was by far one of the very best pipe welders to walk through the doors of L.U. 195!

Elaine, Dahrel Jr., and all members of the family, I sincerely want to extend my deepest sympathies to you all during these trying times.

God bless!
