Doug Reeves, of Ripley Tractor, Ripley Tennessee passed away Monday. Doug is survived by his son Steve who still work on the old stuff and is a good knowledge source for the folks around Memphis. Doug suffered from diabetes and succumbed to complications. A memorial service is being held today. He was know for great customer service, what ever it took, and had a loyal following the time he was in business. Now there is one less of us old guys who were AC dealers... ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |

Allis looks pretty good from here, there are a lot of young guys on here that are keeping A-C alive.  Not so much for us old guys.  My condolences to the family and friends. May he rest in the palms of God's hands. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
