Mike Jones (aka iajonesy) [ View ] [ iajonesy@mchsi.com ] [ Car Ads ] [ Blogs ] Lisbon, Iowa (319) 455-2820

Yesterday evening the street rodding world lost a great husband and wife team. My pals Tom and Marlene Wilbur were killed when a deer ran into the path of the motorcycle they were riding. Tom was known to many in and around Iowa as a guy that could do anything automotive. He was a hard worker and a go getter and always willing to help anyone in need of assistance. Mar was a wonderful woman and a real sweetie. I'd known them over 30 years and I never heard them say a bad word about anyone. They leave two children to honor thier memory, Dawn and Chad. Please say a prayer for the kids and the extended families of both Tom and Mar. Man I'm going to miss them,but life will go onand I'll see them again someday. Thanks, Mike
