Still miss him at Eagleson's. My family bought cars from him because of his trustworthiness and kindness. My wife and I bought cars from him as well. He once drove a car that he thought we should have and after a big snow. He unknowling drove into our yard. It was super funny. By the way, we bought and loved the car! He would always send us birthday cards with his beautiful personal handwriting!
