It's 8/11/25. I just found out about my friends passing. We worked together for MANY years during my 30 years at USA CAPITAL. He was such a pleasure to work with. His humor and positivity always made things easier for me to deal with. Whenever a machine broke down the first words out of his mouth was "Go get Glen" and together we managed to get through whatever needed to be fixed. We spent our breaks and lunch time together sharing stories, food, and talking about life. We would talk about "anything and everything". He was so proud of his family. It was so obvious of how proud he was of each and everyone of them. It was so obvious every morning when he turned on those machines at work that it wasn't for him. It was for his family. I will see you on the other side my friend.
