Mr. Eric Holzworth was my boss.
He told me once, in Omaha Nebraska, that I was dropped in there, to that job site, in a hot LZ, in Vietnam.
Left there by myself to pick up the pieces from a job that was a disaster.
But, he believed in us, me an Bill Ruppel, that we could clean the mess up.
And we did.
One year later we finished the job, and we made money, and the data center went online as planned.
Her was the best boss I ever had.
Respected by us, and he showed respect to us.
He was a good dude.
We will miss him.

Eric was my nephew. I never had the privilege to me Eric in person. I did attend his memorial service. What an outpouring of love and beautiful pictures. Big E was known for his deep belly laugh and genuine smile. God Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all enveloping this beautiful family. Heather I love you so much and I'm lighting the candles and praying everyday for you for being for Juliet for Reese and for Eric to visit you and your dreams. My Diane Marie Taylor still visits me in my dreams and I treasure them.
