LOL thats awesome .... Back in 1980 the had a KTA 600 cummins in his pete ..... It made 600hp .....back then .....it was alot and cost him an extra 15,000 dollars to have it lol . He's been a gear head forever.

He stopped going over the road in the late 80's and works for Russo's construction as a lowboy driver ...but now mostly runs heavy equipment. Do you know Rod Ranke? We've know him forever and he works at kenworth of buffalo.

Yeah!!!!! He's a great guy. He's been doing alright since his surgery but I don't think he'll fully recover.

Rodney is an awesome guy. I have to give him some serious credit because even with his current condition he still comes in and has a better attitude than most of the other people working there.

I've known Rod since i was a little kid , we used to go down to his farm and hang out with his two son's .... Chris and Jeff . Chris was my older brothers best friend and we were devastated by his passing . Rod has been threw more pain and loss than i can ever imagine.

On the other hand ... his quick jokes and smile can brighten anyones day .
