I had the the honor of working with Jim Gruver. HE was a great guy and friend could ever ask for. He taught me the different things at a Pickett. I will miss Jim like that said he was a teddy bear and sometimes rough around the edges. That was Jim to a tee. I would like to offer my condolences to the Gruver family. Gruver and I spent alot of time working together and I built a friendship with him. We laughed alot!! I could always say when I saw him he always was a pleasure to be around with. I will NEVER FORET YOU SLICK!!. By the way I'm Ed Coach aka Sweaty Eddie lol. Thank you for teaching me the ropes at a Pickett construction.
