I had the privelege of working with
Mr Chaney at Howe Chevy in the late
70s. He was always a fair man and
treated all those who worked there
with courtesy and respect.

To Joe, and the rest of the Chaney family, I send my prayers and sympathy to you all. I worked at Howe Motors for several years and got to know Carl, and he was the nicest man to be around. He had a sense of humor that I didn't expect at first. I don't really recall ever seeing him angry or in a bad mood, and he had alot on his shoulders. I sincerely loved this man, and he was the reason I loved working there. May God comfort and bless you during this time of loss.
