Chub, I am lost with words my heart is You were my first employer in 1980 at the Uintah Sawmill. You and your wife invited me over for hot cocoa and cookies as I sat in your recliner feeling special and proud. These memories I will so ever cherish. You were like a real father I never had. I Will See you Again My Dearest Friend.
