Sorry to hear for whomever he left behind. Mike and I plus a couple of other guys used to hang around some 50 years ago. Working on our souped up muscle cars, sinking snowmobiles in his nearby swamp. Having Mike's mom invite me in for a half hour before she told me that he wasn't home.
Great guy that I havent seen in years.

We were friends since we were 6 years old. We both had a love of cars. Happy we got to talk together one last time a few weeks ago. You will be missed. You're life long buddy, Glenn Grinus.
