Have a friend that owns a tire garage.his 80yr old mom runs the office while Mike runs the shop with his son and brother Joe performing all the labor of work; tire changes, oil changes, brakes and frontend services. I have ordered all my tires from Mike for over a decade. An all-around good guy that loved hunting, fishing and raising cattle.
The shop is in a curve about 80ft from the asphalt road. Shop has been in that location 50+ years.
Mike was standing in the parking lot and as a semi came around the curve it lost a wheel at 55mph. Mike never saw it coming and it hit him full on in the back. He died instantly. The tire kept rolling and went through the living room wall on a house about 100 yrds away..
Just one of those freak accidents that opens your eyes to the fact that life is precious and can be taken in just a blink of an eye.

Oh my. I doubt if I ever heard it said more powerfully.
That is a freak accident. We just never know.
I just lost a friend too. Less than a week ago.
I know that I mentioned this so often that many must get tired of hearing it. The reason why, you expressed better than I can ........
I had the honor of leading my friend to the very important person Who gives what money can't buy. It's the same as in my signature links.

Happy Camper, Mike was a great guy and never missed church. He played the guitar and his wife plays the piano. Like I said, just an all around good guy and his family.
