Not sure what to say?

My uncle always knew how to put a smile on my face, he loved driving his truck and his family his unmistakable red hair was curly and he always had a story to tell he was the nicest man you'd ever wanna meet and I'll truly miss him

Dean was a classmate of mine. He and I sat and talked for nearly an hour one afternoon at the railroad station during a class reunion. He told me stories about driving a truck and the places he had been. He was a dedicated trucker! I will miss him and all of his stories. He was not only a classmate but also a friend. I wish his family well during this difficult time. Dean will live on in our memories. Rest in peace my friend.

My sympathies to Curly's family,my wife and I knew him him years ago from working with him.He was a nice,kind man to me who at the time was just starting out as a driver.Thank you for your kindness Curly.RIP.

Sorry for your loss.
