Sad to report that Billy Cruse of Rosedale Ms passed away. Billy was a service rep for Allis-Chalmers starting in the 60's thru the mid 80's. He then started a company BEBCO, servicing irrigation engines - Deutz and others- in N. Mississippi. His son, Bill Jr. still runs the business. Billy was one who had to know every nut, bolt, in and out of every machine AC produced. He was a dedicated employee and served every dealer he called on with a passion for the customers machine performance. He was a legend among the farmers that knew him. This leaves two of us left that served out of the Memphis branch/region.

RIP Billy, I am sure something in heaven needs tuning up...
