What a good man! Mr. Moles spent several weeks during a couple of summers a few years ago restoring the old cannon in Salem at the intersection of College and Blvd. He would come to the Street Department each morning with a smile and left the afternoon smiling larger. He seemed to have such a gentle spirit. I appreciated getting to know Mr.Moles, Salem has lost a fine gentleman!

I've known Aubrey since I was a small boy. He was a very good friend of my father, Robert (Bob) Dooley. He really knew how to fix up and restore old cars. He was also a really great guy and he will be greatly missed.
