I was saddened to learn today of JB's passing. We worked together at Davis Bandag when I was in my late teens. There were only three of us in the shop at that time. (Early to mid seventies) I had tried unsuccessfully to locate him on the web to reconnect with him. I would have wanted to commend him for putting up with my various and irritating youthful pranks. His work ethic made an early and lasting impression on my life.

He always had a smile on his face and brought joy to those around him. He will be missed and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love and God Bless, Sally and Bruce Bulman
