    Lost a good friend this month.

     



    We have driven fuel tankers for 20 years.
    He was one of the best and just a all around great guy.
    He will be greatly missed around the loading terminals in Tampa, Fl.
    Watch all the videos You'll see a old man that tried to save him tell
    how hard he tried to servive. This accident was not Ray's falt.
    A pick up truck lost control in the rain and hit ray in the steer axle
    causing him to lose control. He then went off a 30 plus foot bridge
    crashing up side down and busting in to flames. Be warned the old
    man starts to break down and cry, God bless him for trying.
    He's the only one that had the balls to stay and help while the
    tanker kept exploding. Kurt

    So sorry to hear about your friend. I saw this on the news, such a horrific wreck.

    I know how it feels to lose a good friend, I lost one of mine 5 years ago and I was so choked up I couldn't even say what I wanted to say at his memorial service.

    My condolences to his Family and everyone who was close to him.

    Don

    I'm so sorry for you loss. The world was richer for his presence. It's rare to have such good friends, who work hard and keep a smile on their face. Sorry.
