I knew Preston since I was a young kid. He was E.A. in grade 5/6. He never yelled at us kids and was very helpful in class. I then got to be coworker with him when I was medical transportation coordinator. He was a medical driver then. And one of the good ones too. He was such a good driver and he always kept his vehicle clean. I'd get to see him everyday while I worked there and it was honor to have worked with him. I also loved that when he talked of his beautiful wife. He always said my girl with light in his eyes. He talked of her often and always he said how much he loves his girl Christine. I always admired that and would always look forward to our conversations. Some of our conversations were about life and death and the loss of our loved ones. He knew my Gran and he hurt for her too. I always thanked him and would say see you later Pres! He was a good friend also. I am grateful for the time that I spent with Preston. He is one of the kindest and most respectful people I've met. Sending my condolences to Christine and his children, grand kids and his greats and all that loved him and called him friend. He will be missed and he will be remembered 🙏🏼❤️💓 - Posted by: Sarah Louise Bird (Former coworker and community member ) on: Jun 12, 2021
