Very bad week. unloaded in Marion OH, a week ago this am. went to the petro just south of Toledo for breakfast and sleep, My wife Jill called to tell me my 89 year old Dad had a bad stroke and was being transported to a hospital in Lansing Mi.
I rewrote my log and headed for lansing.
Dads stroke was massive with no hope of recovery, later that evening we had the tubes removed. That was about 01:00 Thurs morning and he past away about 22:30 Sat.
We had 3 vistitations over Monday and Tue. with a huge standing room only funeral yesterday morning. Along with the Preacher we had a family friend give a little talk then our local Masonic lodge gave the masonic funeral rites. the prossession to the cemetary was led by the state police and 3 of our local fire trucks with the county police bringing up the rear. The national gaurd was at the cemetary to fold the flag with the V F W giving the rifel salute
He was a man loved by all who knew him and he knew everyone. He leaves a huge gap in my life that will take a long time to heal.
I hope this was not too long of a post but I needed to talk.

Your father will not only be missed by you but by a country that owes their very freedoms to him. Sounds like he lived a wonderful life.

FedEx gets a really big discount on tires at Speedco. I had a post on here earlier about it. Just ask for it.

Speedco does not sell the tire I use. They do have a great discount. Our discount on the National Account for the Michilen steers is wonderful. We get it any where that honors those accounts.

Just wanted to make sure you knew about it. After the great price and service they gave me in Denver I want to recommend them to all FedEx o/o's.

And I thank you for that. I was aware but it is always nice to see others in here looking out for each other. On that line, all you FedEx types, be sure to look in the "discount" section on the extranet when you need tires. That Speedco and all other tire discounts are listed in there along with any documentation you may need to get your discounts.

LOL!!! No, not that. "Gumbies" is a slang term for tires in some areas.
