Woke up this morning thinking about our old neighbor, sorry to hear this, always had that smile that hinted of mischief...

I have known Saint since we worked together at GE in 1976 for Pete Bluvis in production control building 346. He was one of a kind. A good loyal friend and liked by everyone. We had many laughs and good times at work to ease the tensions of the day. He will be greatly missed by all.
