We are so sorry for your sudden loss. He was a really decent person who cared greatly for his family. Everyone will miss him.
I have precious memories of going out west with tiny and working for the oil companies in the mountains. Life in the wild west was different than Buffalo Minnesota that’s for sure.
Something today reminded me of my friend Tiny. I haven’t seen or heard from him in over 20 years. We worked together in the seismoghraph industry for 5 years. Which means you work, move and live together. Tiny is such a great actually thoughtful and what a sense of humor. Can’t say I have ever met more of a mountain of a man that was as gentle as he was. That said, I didn’t want to piss him off… Remember the potato sausage he would bring back from home, must have been mom’s. Tiny always had his flannel shirt on and when it got below zero he might throw a jean jacket on!!! I miss my friend… Bob T
