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

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.

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. :wink:
