He went wherever the work took him. traveling to many states, with many different companies, helping build the future.
Dusty was known for always lending a helping hand. Even if you asked for his expert skills. He'd have no problem, taking over and getting the job done! He will definitely be remembered for his level of knowledge of operating heavy equipment.
