How Joe Changed My Life

by Mickey Ollis Sr.

My life was changed one day when Joe walked into my garage and asked for lock wire and a gas tank to patch up his wrecked race car. The next thing I knew he had me working on his race car and made me one of his trusted crew members... Just a few weeks later Joe hired me as a mechanic at a Toyota dealership as a Journeyman Mechanic and changed my life forever, very much for the better! He Doubled My Wages The Day He Hired Me!!! I was an 18 year old uneducated father and husband of a single wage earning family... Joe went on to mentor me for many years after that. I loved Joe like a Father and I miss him very much! Thanks for the memories Primo!
