This is a shame…I hope foul play is not suspected.
If it was the same guy, I had the honor of seeing him doing his flag dance on the Mountain Road near Spruce Peak last year. Surprised the heck out of me. Had never seen anyone do this.
He was really good and proved that no matter what you do for work, you can show up and do your job with flair and excellence.
I hope he made peace with Jesus before his time on earth was through.
