## Opinion text

STEPHENSON, Justice (concurring specially).
I concur in the result reached by the majority and in that portion of the foregoing opinion which reaches that result predicated upon a want of evidence of proximate cause.
I emphatically disagree with that portion of the opinion which holds that there is no evidence of a breach of duty owed by the company to Mr. Crawford. Moreover, I do not understand the occasion for including this material in the opinion since it is unnecessary in reaching a correct result.
