We truly lost a good one with Shannon. He was an extremely down to earth, fun loving, guy with a huge heart. Or as he would say just a good ole goofy Hillbilly! I may not have spent a ton of time around the family but I’ll never forget our visits. Talking about cars and life in general and simply joking around. Thank you for stopping by the car lot just to visit and shoot the ……. ( trying to keep it clean lol) with Frank and I. We always enjoyed our visits and Frank could spend hours talking cars with you.
Love you Shannon. Rest easy and give all my love to the rest of the family up there.
