Safe travels good sir. May the gods look down on you with great favor and thank you for all your service.

Anyone who has ever walked the midways along "games row" has seen him. A true loss for his and the Cedar Point family.

Definitely a familiar face for years. Seemed like a cheerful and very nice guy, rest easy and safe travels.

I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

I talked to him a few times. He was very easy going and you could tell he loved his job. At least he died peacefully, rest easy.

We've talked to him many times over the years. Such a warm, pleasant gentleman. May he rest in peace.

Just last weekend my wife mentioned him, the fact that we have not seen him at CP in a while. What a kind gentleman, always gave friendly high-fives to my youngest son. My condolences to his family.

I've talked to him MANY times over the years,sometimes he would see me and stop me to say 'hi'.
