This is something that is very hard to put out there.
Ryan Keith Cox was a good man who worked in the business division. I would speak with him on occasion but it was mostly hellos and smiles.
Michelle "Missy" Langer was an administrative person who I worked with daily. She was a fun loving person who recently (last year or two) lost her father. She was always someone who I could approach and end could talk with. She was like an aunt to me.
...Robert "Bobby" Williams was a special projects coordinator who I also worked daily with. We would talk and discuss ways to try and solve issues in the sanitary sewer system. He had alot of institutional knowledge and was setting his sites on retiring some time in 2019 so he could be with family.
Joshua A. Hardy was an engineering technition who was always fun to be arround. Him and I would joke each other and prank eachother just like brothers. Pranks would be as simple as turning name tags upside down or me leaving him some illuminati symbols hidden in his desk area. He was someone who we could get riled up in a good way making him think the illuminati where watching. Some of his pranks he and coworkers did to me would be wrapping everything in my office in wrapping paper, and buying a keyboard to immurse in jello. He was a brother who everyday would bring a smile to your face. He was a part of the pictures shared in this post
Richard H. Nettleton was an engineering buraue lead. I would work with him on some projects. He had a lot of institutional knowledge and was always approachable.
Katherine A. Nixon. This one is the hardest to write. She was smart caring person who I could talk to at any time. A sister and a supervisor. We could share crazy things that our kids would do and say, and tease eachother about the goofiness of the tantrums kids can throw. She was a supervisor everyone would want, tough on you when you needed it, pushed you as you needed it, discipline you as needed, and also compasionate. She was someone who truly understood the work life balancing act everyone has to do.
I have never been one who was good with words or describing and find gifs an easier form of expression. https://media.giphy.com/media/3o6vXUgk6M0h07MnuM/giphy.gif is all i can really express to all these who were lost and those still battling in the hospital.
The hardest thing about all of this is I would have been right there in it, had my daycare not been closed for the day. I left at 2:15 from Kates office to pick up my son from school. My last words to her where "see you monday".
Friday started off like any other friday. I brought in doughnuts for the day and we had a directors briefing about software I and a couple coworkers gave. In that meeting where a few of the victims. The meeting went really well and everyone was excited and motivated and looking forward to the progress we where going to be making.
They will be missed
