Can't believe you are gone, Tuffy. When we pull out of our driveway, you were right across the way. When I walked in the mornings, your hand always flew out the window with a smile, and you were always there to help with our trailers throughout the years. You are sorely missed friend.

Tuffy was a light for me in my life. I can still see his casual stroll over to my RV where he would listen to my concerns and then a gentle smile would appear with the soft words of "we'll get you back on the road in no time." Conversations would cover dogs and the vehicles of our youth but you always knew you were talking with a sincere gentle heart not hardened by life. He always exhibited patience and goodness to those he was around. His presence in our community will truly be missed. ...

We only met Tuffy the week before he passed away. He instantly recognized that my dad needed kindness and patience. Tuffy meticulously explained how he was going through the RV electrical system, engine, propane, everything. He was so kind to my dad and the motor home trip was a wonderful gift for my dad's upcoming 86th birthday. Our sincerest sympathy to the family and encouragement that we will all be together again in Heaven with our Lord and Saviour Jesus.

I can only add to what others have said. Tuffy was one of those rare honest persons I was proud to know and have as a friend. I will miss him greatly.

We've done business with him for several years now and it seems it was just last week that I saw him and his big smile. When he gave me one of his business cards, he was so proud that his friend had design them for him. I always looked forward to seeing him every month when I paid my storage fees. What are we going to do without him? He was one of the few great guys, helping me through the grief when my husband passed unexpectedly. I will surely miss him.
