God bless the Hendricks family and all the employees. My Mom has worked for Mr. Hendricks since the 80s at the Dallas branch of ABC Supply. She was very torn up about Mr. Hendricks death, as well as all her higher ups being upset. I just want to say how sorry I am that this happened and I hope they find out why Mr. Hendricks fell. I hope the Hendricks family is able to get through this tragedy. God Bless.
