I was so sad to hear about the passing of "Earl T" (as I called him) when we worked together during the construction of Byron. He was a great guy and knowledgeable engineer that I thoroughly enjoyed working with. We had many great times together at Byron and it was my privilege to know him and call him a friend. The world is a sadder place without him. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I enjoyed my fishing trips with Mick. He got so excited when his turn came around to reel in a big salmon. I will forever remember his excitement from those trips. May his family know he is finally at peace with our Lord and savior. Fishing and hunting again in heaven.
