Heaven is smiling down on us today for God has gained an Angel. Walter, known to us here at Vulcan as “Knot Head”, always greeted everyone with a positive attitude and a smile; always in a good mood! Knot Head may have been 63 but he had a work ethic of a 21 year old. He always left the quarry saying “See you in a little bit, By God!” Just a great spirit. Rest in peace OUR Friend until we all meet again. You are truly missed, “By God!”

I have worked with Knot Head for almost 15 years and he wasn’t someone i just worked with, he was like a brother to me. We talked either in person or on the phone at least a half a dozen time a day. He was the happiest he has been in a long time for the last year, thank you Jennifer for being there for our boy. Knot head we will all miss you dearly but you still live on in all that knew you.
