I pal (ed) around with PC back in the days of our misspent youth at YVCC and played organized football with him there as well. I stumbled across this just now and wanted anyone who reads this to know that even then at 18 or 19, he was a stand up guy. What a tragedy and I'm so sorry for this. I hadn't talked to him in years, but obviously he was a great man with a great work ethic (35 years one company). We had many a great time in Yakima, and a barrel full of laughs and good cheer. A tough hard hitting football player who was fearless. I'm so very sorry for his passing. - Eric Olmstead (7-25-19)
