He was a heck of a guy, I would have never thought this would happen. Turns out pretty much everyone in my family knew him.
He used to come in and hang out for a while have a bagel from the deli next door or whatever. He had worked for the local Chevy dealer for a few years and then just started doing bodywork at his house. This guy was in just about every morning, even when he really didn't need anything. When I was 17 I started working at an autobody jobber (supply store).
