First met Jerome at Rhodes Auto parts.
I needed an obscure part for a big moving truck. He spent a solid 2 hours hunting it down, while taking care of other customers too.
In my book, that's above and beyond.
I knew I liked him then and there.
Fast forward a bunch of months to the next time we hung out awhile outside the parts store environment.
He bought some big metal doo-dad that wouldn't fit in his little SUV. He asked if I'd haul it from Ridgley to his barn.
I went and picked it up and brought it to him. I had no pressing commitments, so we hung out and he gave me a tour of all the goodies in the barn.
It was fun. Each thing he would pick up to show me had a story attached.
Hours later it was time to go, so there ended any further "buddy time".
We still ran into each other a lot. It was always good to see Jerome.
I will miss him.
Condolences to all his family and loved ones.
