To the Family of Mr. Zeb Overstreet: It is with a very heavy heart that I just learned of the passing of Mr. Zeb. I have known Zeb for about 25 years and have bought ambulances exclusively from Excellance ever since the first time I met him. He was a great man and because of his tenacity as a sales man, I stuck with him all these years. I think of him often and occasionally called him after he began to slow down his travels. He visited me by plane and car until late in his years. Honestly, I didn't have the nerve to fly with him, when he offered, but I still loved him. He will forever be in my heart and mind and I know he lived a full life. I will pray for all of you and Zeb.... The Legend, and My friend. Respectfully, Larry Atteridge Director of EMS Natchitoches Louisiana.
