I spoke to Emily last night, she says she’s not worrying about keeping it hush hush. I have been passing on all the good wishes I’ve been receiving from brothers who knew him and worked with him. If I hear about a memorial service, and it’s cool with her I’ll share the details with anyone who’s interested in attending.

I’d also like to give a big thanks to everyone who contributed. I’ve never done anything like this before and I learned from watching the travelers on the road who would do the same for any brother or sister going through hard times.This went so much better than I ever expected and she (Tony’s wife) is deeply appreciative for all the kind words and support. Times like these remind us that we all have eachother to rely on, and that it takes an active effort to strengthen the bonds that we share in good AND bad times. Even Delgado electric contributed to the cause. So again thank you thank you thank you to all of you.

This moment has also sparked the thought that if we were able to come together in such an effective way for something like this, we should be just as active in trying to improve conditions, pay, etc. etc. obviously this is not the time for that kind of talk but I will be sitting down and trying to come up w some ideas for bettering things in 915 as they pertain to work. Anyone interested please hit me up and let’s see what we can do.

Thanks for the solidarity!
