Nuke's

At our family reunion, 1995, my cousin came over to me and asked me if I liked my job.  It kind of caught me by surprise:  we really weren’t that close, he was about 10 years older, and we ran in different circles.  His next question was equally surprising; “How much did you make last year?”  Well, I hemmed and hawed and said, “I’m doing ok…”

To make a long story short, he told me about a job opportunity with the company that he worked for.  I followed up on it and a few months later, made a career change to the job and company that I have today.

He wasn’t kidding me about an “opportunity.”  It is without a doubt the best job I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few.  I’ve made more money and met more people than I ever thought possible.

He taught me everything I know.

We became very close friends.

He died today.

My heart is broken.

I’m going to be out of pocket for a few days.
