Well, shoot. That's too bad.
I worked for Ronnie LeDoux back in 1977 and 1978.
Quite the learning experience, both in the garage and with the people who frequented the place. My world opened up working there, as many residents stopped in. People I had heard of but never met. Gas was 59.9 cents a gallon, and most people stopped and got 3 dollars worth.
Ron was a hard worker, but also could be laid back at times, which allowed for the customers to visit and kibbitz now and then. Lots of stories.
Rest in peace, Ron.
