  11. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Trent. I had the honor of working with him at Special School District and serving as his bus aide from time to time on routes. I always enjoyed hearing him on the radio—he sounded just like a truck driver. What I will cherish most, though, is how much he loved talking about his grandkids and showing me their pictures. He will truly be missed.
