Hi Moira, I know he had a cardiac event this summer and was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure; I contacted him again today out of frustration and he said he had another event recently.
As unfortunate as this is, I feel at least he is not just trying to blow people off. For years, he was an excellent source of Tree Removal and Firewood, and the single best crane operator I’ve ever witnessed. It was also very nice guy who learned his trade in central America, working for the Marines. There is lots to like about him. I feel that he does not want to slow down, but he can no longer maintain the workload. Thank you for your description. I appreciate our shared sense of responsibility and making these recommendations.
