Truman's passing evokes great memories of our friendship when I was a young radio announcer at WLAP and he was selling cars at Shug Glenn Buick on High Street. He'll be sorely missed.



With our deepest sympathies...

Lonnie, Bill and Brucie

I was sure sad to hear about Truman. He was a good man and always made me smile when I saw him. I didn't get to know him until I worked at Glenn Buick but he was a joy to work with. He always had a great joke or something to keep me laughing. He will be sorely missed. God bless and comfort you all.
