    Sad to hear today of the passing of a great man, superb salesman and will definitely be missed in that field. Thank you for years ago letting me operate the excavator when you did work on the family farm. You were the first person who ever let me operate machinery when I was a little fella. I’ll always remember you for that. Much appreciated and will always be grateful for it.
