Oh BT as Kreig would say. I had the privilege to get to know you when I worked at the Montana. How I would come to treasure your smile but most importantly your hugs and kind words. You were a treasure to so many. I have missed that since I moved away. But a couple years ago got to see you and introduce you to my wife. I will never forget the kind words you shared with us. Sure will miss you. My thoughts are with all your children, family and friends. You really did bring so much joy to this world and I pray that everyone will hold their special memories close to their heart. I so enjoyed your sharing of your love for your children. Rest In Peace my friend. JrWayne and Serena
