ranma Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 As I sit here typing this my dad lays in his bed in the hospice center, In just a few short Hours he be gone. He found out in april of this year that he had blood cancer. He worked At INTERNATIONAL Harvester in FT.Wayne Indiana from 1962 till the FT.Wayne factory closed. He finished his 30 years with Navistar in 1992. He painted Trucks for 28 years. And is the reason I got in the Hobby so many years ago. Back in 1974 My Brother and I recived a 4070 a for Christmas. Dad painted them and my Mom Built them. He will be missed! 1938-2014.
