I know this could go under safety, but I think more people will see it here.
I just finished e-mailing Mark Reinhart and he gave me permission to post this to our site. This is a 3rd accident from yesterday’s postings. This one was fatal. He was a 21 yr. old window cleaner with 2 children. Try to remember how much life insurance you had when you were 21. Not much if any I bet. Let’s come together as a group and help out this family. We are blessed to work every day and make a good living, I am sending a check as is MWCoA. Send what you can.
Here’s the link to the story- http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/grand_rapids/Window_washer_falls_off_scaffolding
Here is Mark’s appeal-
It is with a very painful sadness that I make this statement. Today I/we mourn the loss of our friend and loved one Tyler Cotter. Tyler was like a son to me & was very much a part of our family here. Tyler was more to us than just an employee, he was like a brother to our staff, he loved his girlfriend Samantha like a wife, he was a loving father to his new born child Payton, loved his family, and we all know he loved us and his work here. He was always looking out for others.
We here are all better people for knowing Tyler. He will be missed. God bless his family & we pray for them both.
One of our employees has written this on behalf of our staff.
“The parents must be proud of their son. They could not have asked for a nicer young man. I know it doesn’t make it any easier to deal with this unfortunate outcome. I could not feel more proud if he were my own son. There was not one day we worked with him that he did not impress us with his character and the way he carried himself.
We are setting up a memorial fund for Tyler’s family. We are asking our customers, friends, & fellow window cleaners to if at all possible send donations to the family. Please make checks out to Tyler Cotter Memorial Fund & send them to P.O. Box 3504 Grand Rapids MI 49501
Sincerely,
Mark S. Reinhart

Don’t wait, write a check as soon as possible. We always want to help and we often pass on it. Do it this time. And say a prayer that others will help.
Thanks,
