Rest in Peace

An employee lost his life last friday. Thought I would put up the obit in his memory. Jose was a rock solid dude. Many of you who read here knew him and can attest that he would have fit into this crowd of bloggers perfectly.

He will be missed.

I still can't believe he is gone. He was such a sweet kid.

I know it is on the RPT boards, Jimmy, but i really think you should put something on the main RPT page....just my two cents...
