Dear SB, You have been a friend of my family for many,many years! I watched as you lughed at me when I did something silly as a child,I watched you laugh at and with my father as you two rebuilt the engine in his M,and I must say you two did go through alot of Pabst Blue Ribbon doing it! Anytime anything on our farm broke down,you went the extra mile to help,and even climbed up on the tractor,or combine or whatever it was you fixed just minutes before to help get the crop in or seed in the ground.I cried with you as you wife was laid to rest,and shared a few cold ones with you the day Dad was buried,not far from your wife.(At last you changed beer brands,Bud was much better than Pabst)I remember you cussing bolts that wouldnt come loose,and the slightest grin you had when something that hadnt run in 30 years,came to life with the pull of a crank,and the big ole Case 1030 that FINALLY had a good and working charging system for the first since Uncle Butter bought it the day after I was born.SB,Im going to miss ya SB,not just for the fun times,but all the times.So long Bud!
