On June 29, a valued friend of the concrete placing industry, Don Matthews, 69, passed away in Emory, Texas on his small family farm. Don battled cancer with strength and courage for about two years; during that time, he encouraged others to call whenever they needed assistance, even when he was in the hospital. Words can’t properly express the love, passion and dedication he had for our industry and the people in it.
