My prayers go out to Joe's friends and family. This happened just before the holiday season which makes things very tough. This accident has been bothering me very much and I will continue to commit myself to preventing workplace accidents.

Joe Shephard was a great father, husband, friend and brother in law to me. He will be dearly missed.
