Very dangerous job. God bless his family.
I was recently severely injured in a rr accident , fortunately I was able to escape with my life. I feel deeply for his family and friends and hope they find a good rr injury attorney so his wife and children can live a good life !!! God bless to all involved.
My heart goes out to his family. I pray I never have to go through what his family is. Prayers for all of his family and this includes his RR family.
