To the Torlai family, the Bristow sends our deepest sympathy. Little story,
Nick was our apprentice at K&M Roofing. He was fun loving, always cracking jokes, he made our hard days go by quicker. He payed attention and learned the complicated skill of Roofing. I was very happy that one of our apprentices became a contractor. He made us Proud! I will miss Mr. Nick Torlai... Now he is on his way to help roof Gods House!
