    So sorry for you loss. Walter plowed with us winters ago out of Caledonia Base. He was a great operator got along with every one. He had a strong work ethic and I remember him calling on the two way many times that he was finished his plow run and wanted to know if anybody else needed a hand. He always took great pride in the equipment he operated. On behalf of the crew from Queens Department of Transportation we send our condolences to you and your family. Rest in Peace Friend
