Glad to see you add Mark, Nathan. I was thinking about him yesterday, always had great input from the engineering side of things. Especially the 8000 series.

Had lunch with him in Coats MN one day , he was visiting his grandson in hospital in city.
We must have spent 2 hours talking and sharing things , as he was from Rochester MN area .
Funny as not one conversation on politics and we seemed to have more in common than differences .

427435 - Mark Sickman, 73, of Rochester, MN passed away on Friday, September 23, 2016
He was a retired Allis-Chalmers Tractor Engineer. Whenever I made the trip over to Rochester I'd make it a habit to try and see him. We threw a lot of ideas around about how things could have been done better. Can't say as I remember talking politics with him either. Quite a gentleman! He's always buy coffee...

Hard to believe he's been gone almost 8 years already.

What is odd is we had a lot of discussions on health care plans for those on Medicare and he used Blue Cross of MN as his primary - then to have problems while on vacation I believe - unless he never discussed underline problems he might have had .

I was in Minnesota a few years back, with my son in law on a tractor run. Made a point to get a hold of him. Stopped by his place and had a long visit with him. Wealth of knowledge. Glad l did. When l got out of the truck to shake his hand, l said we are going to talk about any and everything, other than politics 🤣.
