I found an old ad with a character of "Speedy" running with a pipe wrench and gave it to him one Sunday at church. He said he would put it up somewhere in the shop. Hope you still have it. May your great memories of Speedy be of some comfort to you. He was a real "gentleman", and being around him always made you feel better. We will miss him too.
