    When Gloria found him dead she started yelling at him to, "Wake up! Wake up!"

    I've met people from as far away as Europe who know about his connection with the area. He had sort of an every man sensibilty with a little bit of a Joe Isuzu personality. One if those guys who just wanted you to buy a large overpriced microwave every few years. God bless his socks. He will be missed.

    My mom was talking about him and Portland wrestling. Guess she remembered him and his ads when she was a kid.

    I was more of a Smith's Home Furnishing bro though. I did go to Tom Peterson's but wasn't most of his stuff really really cheap off name brands and stuff? Zenith and shit like that?

    I used to work in a bank during summers at college. He used to come in to the branch I worked at on 82nd and Division. Super nice guy. Always pleasant, knew all the employees by name.
