From The Corner Of My Mind (Lake Edition)

* I come to you with a heavy heart this morning. Last night we all received a text from our secretary (Managers wife) with the tragic news of the death of one of our co-workers. He was down in South Texas working the night shift on a drilling rig. Yesterday he had went to the bunkhouse to catch a nap and someone went to wake him up and found him dead. He was very skilled in our trade and just three days ago had returned from a big job in Mexico. He could work offshore and overseas and not long ago he was telling me about a job he had been on years ago overseas. I spent a month last year living, and working with him in Pennsylvania. His knowledge of our job astounded me and I can only hope that someday I will be able to achieve what he learned in such a very short time. Please keep his wife and their children in your prayers this weekend as they struggle now to start over without a father and husband. Joe, you will be missed and it was truly an honor to have gotten to know you.
