I tried getting a hold of Fuzz a couple of weeks ago to wish him Happy Birthday. I wish there could have been 1 last party at the Crystal Palace.
Thanks for the lifetime of stories & history lessons.
Not many folks can say they influenced Mooney.
Most of our time together was sitting next to each other not being able to talk over the rumble of a 2 stroke diesel 8V71.
When we did stop,Fuzzy would give me history lessons. He would tell me how he modded and chopped up the 1000s and 800s that came from Leo or something equally interesting every day.

I used to think how the whole country was like his back yard. He'd never have to pick up a menu because he already knew what they had at every podunk road stop or faluting casino everywhere.
I miss your coffee and sharing it with you. Thank you for your friendship and all the memories. Hope you & Phyllis are having fun where ever you are.
