Re: Terrible Tragedy this AM, RE:Mikes Afordable
The first time I went to Mike's (it's not very far away for me) it was on a Saturday just minutes before closing. Steve helped me with a mechanical problem, taking all the time in the world to explain how to install the parts I had purchased.
About a month later I appeared again for more parts and some further advice. Once again, Steve gave me his undivided attention. When he presented me with the bill I realized that he had found my name in the computer without asking. I told him I was gratified that he had remembered my name after only one encounter. He then proceeded to recount all my recent Model A concerns -- he had been following my posts on the Ford Barn. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Re: Terrible Tragedy this AM, RE:Mikes Afordable
I just picked up my first Model A project and ran across this old post while looking around. I have not thought about Steve in years, but do miss him. I grew up traveling the country in with my family in my dad's model A and Steve was always a staple. When I got to be a teenager, my dad started including me on his annual Model A trip to the Daytona 500, which Steve was always a part of. I have fond memories of dragging our chairs out of the hotel rooms at night to the sidewalk and sitting around telling stories and Steve was always good for a laugh. He was one of the good ones.

Re: Terrible Tragedy this AM, RE:Mikes Afordable
Maybe so, but sometimes it does not hurt to be reminded of someone that has passed.
