So much can be said about this man. He was truly a spirit that will live in all our hearts that knew him. I worked with him in the Rigging Shop at Norshipco for several years. He was the kindest man and will remember him always. He and Lao attended our wedding we just will not forget this man. Joe and Michelle Sawyer
