That's terrible. I'm sorry to hear this. I raced against Guy a number of times when LaSalle still raced weekly. I don't recall ever speaking to him personally, but I had a great deal of respect for him as his equipment and team always appeared very neat, and about as squared away as one could be. He was a good racer, too.

My condolences to his friends and family. I wish only the best for those affected by this tragedy.

Dunno if he was the foreman, but to be in his 60’s in the hole is abnormal. Being a pipelayer is a hard job, tough on your body. As an operator, this guy made a fatal error. He took his eyes off of his task, while not having the bucket down and the controls locked out.

It can happen easily, and I cannot imagine being him. I feel for him and Guy’s family.
