Sorry for your loss Jim and Rick.it was a pleasure working with your brother.Bill Heywood.God bless him.
Rob, was always a good friend and great to work with. I worked construction with Rob for several years and was glad that he could come and work for me when I had my mortgage company. He did some great commercial work for me. He was quite a practical joker also. He had a brilliant mind for detail. Rob, I will miss you. J R Pettit
