Yesterday

I am Jon Hartke. Jimmy Rae was a coworker at American Steel Foundry. His sister was also married to my cousin which I found out later. He was an all around great guy! One time when another coworker from Livingston and I carpooled together his car broke down on 270 just outside of Granite City. Luckily Jimmy Rae spotted us on the side of the highway. He stopped to help us out . We got the car running and he followed us to Livingston just in case we needed a ride.
Thanks for being a stand up guy Jimmy!!Gonna miss you buddy!!
