We lost a great man today
« on: Jan 04, 2018, 09:15:01 PM »
It is with a heavy heart that I share this sad news.  I had the pleasure of meeting him at an awards banquet a couple years back and am happy to be entrusted to help carry on his legacy.  RIP Bruce, you will be sorely missed by many more than you know

RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

I'm sorry to hear of his passing. He achieved far greater success in his time on earth than most people could ever imagine, while maintaining a sense of humble decency and concern for others.

America's Tire Company was my first job back when I was 16. CAN-14

RIP Bruce

America's Tire Company is actually the only place I will buy tires now. They are higher caliber than other tire places. I actually worked at Wheel Works also (a few years after America's Tire) and their quality of employees and business practices was less than desirable.


I respected that he never had a store open on Sunday, because that was church/family day.

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.
