I forever will have a spot in my heart for R.T. and what a great person he was..he unselfishly guided many a young Millwright in the rights and wrongs on the job and related many real life experiences to us that we could see the errors of our ways sometimes to keep us honorable and trust worthy in life as he himself was in his caring for so many youths and adults .Rest in Peace R.T. you are certainly in a better place now and will be missed for eternity,all i can say is many many thanks R.T you made the world a much better place for us all.
