He was a personal friend of mine.  The only person I would let poke around the salvage yard without a baby sitter.  He would tap on my office window as he walked past with a toolbox.
One day I looked out and he was unloading a D14 in my front yard.  It was Green with Purple Polka Dots.   No I'm not kidding!  I walked out and asked what he was doing and he said "I don't want to talk about it.  Let me know what you will pay me later.  I don't want to ever see it again".
He was great on the D15 and WD45 diesels.  Could sure use his help now.  
Had the honor of driving a tractor in his funeral.  Great and honorable guy.
