    My condolences to Slim’s family.
    Slim launched my carreer as a silo builder when I started working on his crew in June 68, right out of high school. He was a hard working family man. I admired him and I learned a lot from him in the couple of years that we worked together.
    He also had a least a thousand jokes. I can still hear some of them today in my head when I think of him. great Guy!
