One of the funniest memories of "Mongo" was how he would do his research to make sure one of my junk cars would run like a top... all vehicles could be saved he said. He was relentless in his quest to do the best he possible could to ensure my family's safety & satisfaction. A visionary, "Mongo" said " Buy stock in the Weather Channel " ! That was 20 years ago.....

Although it's been many years since I last saw or spoke to Kerry, I will miss him also. The picture of him that comes to my mind is always the same - with his trumpet in his hand and a smile on his face. I pray his family and loved ones have many more happy memories to carry them through this difficult time.
