Ill never forget all of his golden opportunities he presented me with, whether it was through a phone call at 5 am or over the intercom asking me to stay for a double. And who can forget his shiny shoes!! I always looked forward to working a shift when he was on duty. He was always there to listen and hear about my life outside of work. He is going to be sorely missed by me and many.
Tricia and Steve
