Red was my father in laws best friend up until the day he passed. He was also my part time drinking buddy.. He was a lively man with a colorful vocabulary & a heart of gold. There will never be another person as fun as him. He was a true gentleman & my family adored him. We'll sure miss you.

I met Red when he came to work for Branch Motor express in the 70's. He certainly livened things up around the terminal. We kept in touch for the 34 years since Branch closed, thru the reunions and phone calls. The last call in May. Thanks for the memories, Red.
