My father was the smartest man I've ever known and his
impact on this world was felt far and wide. His passing was not only
a loss for my family, but for hundreds and hundreds of friends and
coworkers across the country. Not having his love, kindness and
words of wisdom in my life has been a hard thing for me to deal with
over these past years. Creating this site has allowed me to keep
his memory and his love for Classic Dodge pickups alive!
My father's
1965 Dodge D100 Utiline was his pride and joy
for many years. He would purchase my mother a new Dodge ram every
other year, but refused to get himself a new truck. His Utiline
was purchased dirt cheap from a local phone company back when I was
about 16 years old (I'm in my 30's now). It took us weeks to scrap all the South Texas
mud out from under the truck when he first got it. That time under
the truck are some of my strongest memories of him to this day.
The truck was given to me after his death and is currently in the process
of receiving a frame off restoration.
Below you will find various pictures, articles and other
memorabilia regarding my father and his 1965 Dodge! The Dodge is
mentioned in many of these articles including the "survived by section"
of his obituary. I've marked the sections of the articles where
the truck is mentioned. I hope you enjoy reading about my father
and his truck. He was a great man!
My father loved his
property in Seguin, TX and so did "Old Blue", here's a few shots of the
him at the property!

Following his death,
there were numerous articles written on him and the accident. I've
selected a few that actually mention his truck or the accident
specifically.
