BIG DADDY STRONG By Robby Widner
You taught me by teaching him we shift gears and never shed tears behind the wheel. We are free all the loads and all the stops from drop to drop, city to city, state to state. You made my life great. Godspeed trucker, you were my hero.
Keep your hand on me and help me float em, I’ll keep it between the ditches. You helped inspire me to be what I am today. Thank you. I love you and I’ll never forget the talks we had and the time we spent together. I’ll miss you my friend.
