Everyone will feel this loss of a absolutely outstanding father, husband, papaw, and friend there will never be another mechanic to match his knowledge. In 2004 I myself lost my Dad. Very soon after that I started helping jamup at his shop. He took me under his wing and brought me through one of the hardest times of my life. I love all you guy's, if you need any help with whatever just holler at me.
