Wyatt was the president of the Ohio Association of Plumbing Inspectors. My first year newly elected board member. At my first conference Wyatt gave his presidents speech. As he was giving his speech my cell phone had rang "loudly". Wyatt had looked at me like a father would, and said with a laughing smile ( please turn your phone on silent ) . My face was as red as a cherry. From that day forward Wyatt and I have had a bond and friendship. I will miss you Wyatt.
