Dean Ledford was and is one of my favorite House Techs of all time. He never treated me as a contractor, but as a friend. He didnt tell you to go do a job, he always asked. And when he sent you on a job, he could tell you which ladder to climb, which way to turn and how many hangers you would pass before you found that valve you were looking for.
It was always a pleasure to work with him, regardless of the job or how bad the outage sucked. He was always one of the friends I looked forward to seeing again after a long absence from SQN, he will be missed greatly on those outages to come and in life, just knowing he wont be around anymore. I will miss our conversations and friendship. There is one more Tar Heel in heaven now.
RIP my friend, you'll always be in my thoughts.
