    One of the best mechanics anywhere; he left a legacy to his son Steve that has followed in his father’s footsteps. He has been missed since not able to come to the shop anymore but our prayers are with Steve who has been missing him down there and now may God help him to carry on as his father would want him to do. Sorry we were out of town and couldn’t be with you.
    Our prayers are with Ethel, Steve, Cathy, sisters and all the family. May God give you the strength to get through this and know he is with the Lord now doing his business.
