Mike was a good worker here at NIVC. He had been running a pallet nailing machine for us. He was a very consciencious worker.He was here every day on time, walking several miles each way, rain or shine to get here. He was a very private person and kept to himself most of the time. He is missed.
I am sorry for your loss.
