Not too many here that remember him anymore, I guess. I wonder what happened to his truck and bus.

Re: the "kaptn" would be drooling...
His brother Mike had gotten them to sell if my memory serves me correct Steve. I think about him often as there's a "bump short bus" near me I've had my eyes on for awhile. Just don't have the money or the funds to go into another project... 
Edit for photo link. Here's his picture album:

I think Mike said that his property was stuck in probate court. I think he had quite a bit of health care related debt.
I saved a bunch of pictures from that album to my drive shortly after he passed.

Re: the "kaptn" would be drooling...
yeah, i guess it's been a while and people probably don't know what to think about a post like that. i figured there are still lot's us that remember him around though. every time i see a ford bus i think of him. he was good people. even though he was a recovering alcoholic i still raise a glass in his direction every now and then.

Yup. Good guy. I miss him. I rode one of those bump buses to school back in the 70s. Only mine wasn't a short bus.
