other dog Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm glad to hear he's still with us, hope he's enjoying his retirement in Hawaii. I never knew what became of him.

Popular Post mackdaddy Posted November 20, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2014 I received a call from a man about a month ago trying to track Joe down. He had heard I ended up with the truck. As it turns out his father who was a life long trucker was on his death bed and asked that his son try to reach out to some of his old truckn buddies. His son told me his Dad was near 90 and they really doubted many would be around. so he was excited to know Joe was and that I had a number for him. He told me that Joe was the coolest trucker he ever knew and that he was like a grandfather to him when he remembered him as a young boy. I asked well how old are you? and he said something like 60.....which would make sense that by time he was 15 Joe was already mid 50's!anyways, Joe was able to make contact with them and I am sure it made his Dad's day.If any of you were at Fontana ATHS show when I had Joe out each day for a few hours at the H model it would be remembered. He drew a crowd around him like an ol preacher. The stories he told were priceless!! especially when an old trucker buddy he hadn't seen in years showed up.He can be seen in his black hat just memerizing the crowd!! 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37771-mustang/#findComment-267352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
