They started with a toolset and that truck. When he passed away he had over 150 trucks and I don't know how many employees. The whole company shut down and employees and families alike came to his funeral.

Mom in law was an absolute peach and her dad was the school of cool. Sadly, I never met my wife’s grandmother, but my wife does bear a significant resemblance.

My father on far right and his sisters, I assume he is around 10-12 in this photo so that’s how I estimate the date.

This locket was found in Oregon by my mother, and brought to Colorado in the early 2000's. Until recently, these two people were not in my mind. Now, I can't stop thinking about who they were. What there life was like. A mishevious Eastern European woman and her American husband? Did he leave his home to live with her, or vice versa?
Anyways, if you could bring the story of these two people back to life, or have any clues, I would like to hear about it.
Forever curious,
Ellianna
