SL CONTRACTORS would like so say we are still trying to wrap this around our heads in disbelief. Cole was not only a Master Mason with brick and stone he was a friend a person you could count on. He was also an excellent carpenter, loved working with wood. And he was a friend and we will miss and never forget him. May god bless his soul and his family and friends. See you in heaven Cole Brian,Scott, and Cole SL CONTRACTORS
