I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Tates passing. He gave me my first real job @ Birmingham Two Way. During the 5 years I was there ,we spent many hours together working on customer sites and in the office under hoods and floor boards. Even to this day I think about him often and the lesson learned while working with him Ray and Charlie.
May God bless you and your Family!
