Bic and I worked together for many many years, in two different states. He was not only a very knowledgeable co worker but a great friend. We shared a lot of laughs and good times over those years. The world lost a kind hearted and good person. I will miss you my friend. Rest easy.

Bic was just a good man. He made us laugh and laugh at ourselves at times. I worked with Bic and I would say we were friends. I pray for comfort for his family and friends. Bic I hope you are riding like the wind in heaven. You will be missed and you were loved by many. Rox
