Default I know this man
I know this gentleman. He worked at our sister plant before it closed down. He came and worked with us for a while.

He is a fine electrical engineer and a very humble, unassuming person. I usually don't post links but I think you guys will appreciate this one.

That is something he will remember forever and will most certainly put a smile on his face when God calls him home. God bless him, I say!
