Well, I guess this is the final chapter in this post. After going thru a private hell my friend lost his battle with agent orange. Before he left us, he gave all his equipment to his one brother that always stuck with him. He has spent his working career as a operating engineer and you can bet the toys will have a easier life now. His wife was also left in fine financial shape. I was in awe at his funeral when one of our local hospital board members listed 11 children's based charitable and medical projects that he had anonymously paid for over the last number of years. He had not wanted them disclosed while he still lived. He may not have been the best operator, but he was a true patriot and had a heart of gold. He gave us all something to talk about, and good naturedly took some guff as well as handed it back. I will miss him. God speed my friend.
