I will miss the smile the most. You had a way about you to always make us smile.You went out of your way to say "hi" when you saw someone. You were a bright spot when we worked together and you made the job just a little fun. Rest my friend, the pleasure was all mine to know you. Your brothers and sisters of Local 1186 cry for you and pray for your family.
