To the Kantorik Family,
I quite literally grew up knowing Non-from the time I was a boy, through the days of the strip mining team, and beyond. For a while, we lost track of each other, but I never forgot those early years. I remember watching Non on Truck No. 22, the old mixer truck-there´s even a picture of it in my office. Later, as an operator, he became one of my quiet heroes.
Non was a devoted employee who gave his all, the kind of dedication that's rare these days. His work ethic and spirit left a lasting impression on me.
Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences, from my entire family to yours.
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched-they must be felt with the heart."
With heartfelt respect,Lou Battistella, President
