Our Foreman, Ken Frahm "Coon", passed away June 2011, but will always remain with us in spirit.  Coon was an inspiring and motivational person.   He kept the shop in tip-top shape and provided a warm atmosphere to all those who stepped foot in our shop with his contagious smile.  Here's to you, Coon!
