I hope this works guys!! Here is a pic I posted when we was pokin fun at him and I threatened to post his pic...  Here is the only picture I have of him without some kind of a mask or hiding.  I can't find the pic that we posted of him from when he was at Hutch. Remember, he was hiding behind some kind of a poster. Anybody remember what year that was?? That would help me find that pic. If I remember correctly, we had quite a crew there for the forum meeting! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

| They had a huge tractor parade thru town for a young man recently killed in a tragic farm accident. I envision something like that for Mack, Shameless, and others. We are all to spread out around the country. I hope the local friends do something like that or at least bring their favorite tractor at the funeral |

Shameless was one of those guys who you were sure to stop and read his post or replys. Fun and entertaining. His coined phrases and twists on words could always be understood if you gave a tangent thought about it. He will be missed. ------------- The Allis "D" Series Tractors, Gravely Walk behind Tractors, Cowboy Action Shooting !!!!!!! And Checkmate |

the acronym “pfffftttt” is frequently used around here! Maybe we could have a moment of “pffffttt’ing” at the gathering of the orange……vs a moment of silence; he was seldom silent and surely missed! ------------- D17 Series 1 Allis B- 1939 Allis B- 1945 |

LOL, even the ads on one of the pages here in the AllisChalmers forum must be missing ol' Shameless... there it says Shameless's name.  Shameless would start saying, "the old la.., ah err, the loving wife..." LOLand mentioned many times when they had a snowstorm, he and the ol ah er luving wife would go driving all over in the country and have fun. and he would mention that INFERNO MACHINE of his and pointing it some where to snow under somebody... Going to miss ol' Shameless. RIP As the bil said yesterday as they left, 'If I don't see you again in this life, see you in Heaven'. Never know who's going to go next. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that." |

Shameless was larger than life . He connected with so many people. His struggles were our struggles. My father fought with his "stockholders" just like Shameless. I could relate when he described what was happening to his family farm. Glad I could finally meet him . He was like Bigfoot. You would hear of sightings, but could never get eyes on him. Once at the swap meet at Boonville he was standing right next to me and I didn't even realize he was there. His shenanigans are legendary. Would love to see if his dually really did have a switch to turn off the tail lights. I assume he wasn't very comfortable the last few months. I am glad he is at peace and without pain. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

Even though I wouldn't know him if I walked into him, (till I seen these pics) Shameless was a pretty funny dude on here. Like others have said, he was a real pip when it came to horsein' around and such. Sure had a funny vocabulary he did. I wonder if he's the one that dropped over 100" of snow on the Sierra Nevada recently just for laughs.......pffft!

YES.....He will be missed here at the ALLIS CHALMERS COLLECTION of REDWOOD VALLEY GRAVEL . I kabitzed with him for years here....had correspondence with him on his private email....actually where I learned his name. As some of you may remember...we sent him some of our collection hats...some of you have received....hoping he would post up a picture....wrong LOL....He emailed me...very appreciative of the hats...and said ...you know we could drag this out and have a lot of fun with this...ok...I'll follow your lead...we did...forum members all got to kabitz too. Of course I always thought we would eventually get the coveted picture posted....nooo. LOL. He loved the pictures we would post....I soon figured out that he liked to pick on our blue Ford service trucks....so for his benefit I would go out of the way sometimes to make sure you could see one in the background....fun stuff. More than once he sent emails appreciative of our pictures asking us to keep it up. More than once .....if I didn't get a post up for a month or two....he would put up a "MEL" where are you?...which of course would generate an answer. I told him once...I might come by and get my own picture taken with him....Yes he invited me. There was a time my wife and I had planned a trip to Kansas city to visit her aunt....I had planned on stopping and saying hi to some of the forum friends along the way. We didn't make it that time...wild fire got the house..covid...health etc. life is good now. "SHAMELESS" R.I.P.

Damn it SHAMELESS. I was dreading seeing this post. I don't think there is a member of this forum in the past 10 years that doesn't have some humorous memory of ol Dale. Hate that it was after you're gone I get to put a face to the name. God speed old boy. Sure you're raising hell on the other side with all the Allis greats ------------- German Shepherd dad 1957 Allis Chalmers WD45 #WD234847 1951 Allis Chalmers WD #WD88193 |

Condolences. I definitely picked up the 'pfffft' from his post. Use it when texting family and friends. I probably met him at an Allis meet and didn't know it. ------------- Robert http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82702&KW=structures&title=structures-1964-allis-d15-series-ii" rel="nofollow - 1964 D15 Series II |

I was doing a little "cruisin" on the site when I seen this great testamonial to the forum members that have passed on to the "Tractor in the Sky" and now are enjoying a good rest,,,,,May GOD bless them all,,,,, I had the great pleasure in actually meeting ole Shameless at his home in Blair where he lived and farmed for many years,,,,among many other escapades he was engaged in,,LOL. He was not home when I drove up to his home and a good bit of snow on the ground. I chatted with Deanne, his beautiful wife of many years,,,while she made many calls all over town trying to track ole Shamless down,,,, Everyone she called told Deanne,,"He just left and headed to "So and So's place" . After several calls Deanne was able to track him down at a friends house Shootini the Chit. NO amount of snow was gonna keep that man from visiting often,,,,He took us to his favorite Cafe and everyone knew him and came over to meet Shamless's friend from out of town. This man was NOT bashfull NOR reserved OR Quiet in his language, with generous amounts of PFFfffft's to go around,,,,!! He was already fighting health issues with his legs but that little "tidbit" did nothing to stop his getting around. He tried to do some farming later but finally had to put his tractors in the sheds. I did also get to meet and spend a little time with Ole Les,,the Water well driller from Carson Iowa,,anyone remember ole Les's "Stories From The Pot" or some such as that,,,,LOL I would like to Thank my best Bud,,Ole Thad,,, for making all this meet up of my Special Friend,,,,ole Shamelss,,,, possible. Thad talked me into making this trip from New Mexico to the Ozarks after my wife had passed on and then,,,,Then,,,Thad introduced me to the Lady Friend that I still care for. What are Friends for,,,?

I don't know whether I should cuss you or thank you for bringing Shameless up today. But you got me all tearer eyed thinking of the good times.Yesterday a year ago was the service for our son that died at 45. Spend the afternoon yesterday with his widow and kids for BPA baseball fund raiser for the grandson's team to go to Coppers Town this summer. So just emotional time here. Sorry here I go off in the weeds again. Something about this place is just not as much fun since the man full of Shenanigans is not around stirring the pot. It seemed everybody could connect with Shameless. Sorry I never had the opportunity to meet in person.

Was in the file manager earlier today deleting pics that were taking up space and decided to put some of the pics that were used to tease him over the years, and give a one last thought looksee at them an a few other unrelated to save them or laugh before I delete the pics off the file manager at the end of the week. Then I find you fellas are talking about him here. Must be a shameless day to be thinking of him.
