From the day I started longshoring me and all my bro’s could never get enough of your stories you were one of a kind rest easy brother .
He was many times the bright spot of the day with his rants. A character is an understatement!
Didn’t really know him but he seemed to be an ominous figure at the hall even though he was small in stature . I found out about his fiery nature when i picked up a sitting shed with a forklift from behind and didn’t realize he was still in it . He wasn’t a happy man and i was definitely a victim of his wrath that day . :>) r.i.p. Frenchy
