John you were an awesome friend we had a lot of great times and adventures around Florida thanks for the memories you will not be forgotten. R.I.P my friend
I remember being 16 and in my first car accident, Papa took a look at my car to see what parts we needed to fix it. He picked me up and we took an adventure to the junkyard. He was able to find all the parts we needed and haggled like a pro to get the best price for them. On our way back from the junkyard we stopped off on the side of the road for a hot dog from a roadside wagon. Papa ordered a dog with kraut and mustard. I was impressed with how he handled the clerk at the junkyard counter so I figured I would trust his judgment and order the same. I had no idea what kraut was at the time and had yet to have it on anything before, it was a vegetable as far as I knew, and who likes vegetables! But I trusted and tried kraut for the first time and loved it! I have been eating dogs with kraut and mustard ever since and can honestly say I think of my Papa every time I eat a kraut dog. I love you and will miss you Papa till we can share a kraut dog in heaven!
