I”m sad to announce that last night one of us, Randy Bird of Wenatchee, Washington, passed away. It’s hard to loose a good friend and associate. You’ll be misses Randy. Thanks for 22 years of friendship.
At the funeral Randy left a message for all of us dad’s. Randy has 8 children. The message, “Live by the 3 P’s, Preside, Provide, and Protect.” Thanks Randy.

Today is another very sad day. Tony Gibbins, an Iowa owner/operator working the Fort Dodge, Iowa area, was involved in a head on collision with a school bus at 6:45 this morning. No students were aboard. The bus driver was life flighted. Tony was announced DOA. Cards and/or check to help with expense (if you’d like) can be sent to his wife Stacy Gibbins 1442 South 22nd Street, Fort Dodge, IA. 50501. I’ll update as more info comes. Life is a precious gift.
