Tug vehicle that was attached to the planes once landed. He really
enjoyed that part of the job. He hired family and friends and didn't

weren't going to mess his position up because he has been there too
long, they will mess themselves up first.

He loved driving all types of vehicles especially with a stick shift.

any trouble and would help as many people as possible. He grew
closer to his mom Sharon when his illness started declining.
He depended on her trust for everything even when people
tried and took advantage of him when his eye sight was bad.

them Ma and it was on,he really appreciated it. She stuck by him
to the very end. His famous words were Homeboy, Son-Son and
all NO. His nicknames were Fats, Horse, Doney and Tony.
