WOW! Sorry to hear that.Bummer day. We tried to make an appointment to get DW's car inspected (WV has an annual inspection) and found out the shop we had been going to for the the last 19 years closed. The owner was one of the nicest and happiest guys you'd ever want to meet and he ran an honest shop, sometimes hard to find. The last time I asked him about retirement was about two years ago, he was 71 then, and he said he loved what he was doing, had been working on cars since he was 14, and couldn't imagine doing anything else.
The owner of the pizza shop next door said he had cancer and had to retire for what time he had left. That's a definite downer for quite a while here, we really liked Roger.
A few years back I lost my mechanic that worked out of his shop also. He had a heart attack and died a few days after, he done some work for me. I missed him great dearly as a friend and as a mechanic.
