ebinmaine 67,401 #65 Posted August 11 I appreciate all your well wishes and thoughts more than you could know. Considering the circumstances, we're all doing OK. We miss him of course... but it's wonderful to see his suffering and challenges from several different sicknesses are over. He fought hard. Several family members have been crafting his obituary for online reading. When I get a link I'll post it. One thing of note for now. My parents owned a floor covering business starting in 1977. He just did his last installation a week and a half before his passing. Process that for a minute and you can see his work ethics. He had nicknames printed on pens and cards many times. The most common was "Ugly Bruce". Remember a few months ago Trina and I built a C121 Automatic for him to mow with. I wasn't sure what to do with it. She apparently had already decided when I asked her. She said we should have @Vinylguy make up some decals that say "Ugly Bruce". In purple letters. The Ole Man's favorite color. 💜 Obviously in Trina's mind that tractor is now a permanent T & E Stables Herd member. 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,813 #67 Posted August 11 (edited) I like the idea of the. cue ball for a shifter knob memorial . Be wicked easy to make. My dad was a railroad man and his handle was " old : number 9" . I'll have to see about getting a 9 ball and do the same thing.. Can say I got the old man by the balls thern... Evidently popular with the trucking crowd... https://www.raneystruckparts.com/pool-ball-gearshift-knob/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwuG1BhCnARIsAFWBUC2T1nypSBC1nIWJmeRQBtdtF_GCfLzxVwxrMw1hpSgvYBs1Fj4wL-0aAl1sEALw_wcB On a tractor I called crazy 8...

sjoemie himself 3,068 #73 Posted August 12 Hey Eric i'm just now reading this. I'm sorry for your loss. Reading the obituary it is clear your father was a great guy and will be missed. Although it is sad he's no longer with you it's nice to know he touched so many people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
