I would like to thank my Uncle Paul for being my mentor in the Bridge fabrication business. He got me a job back in March of 1975 and I had a wonderful career because of him. My only regret is I didn´t reach out to him and let him know how much he meant to me early in my career. Thank you again, I enjoyed working with you for 20 years before I moved away. May you Rest In Peace Uncle Paul. Love you Keith
