I love older gents such as these. My grandfather and father were much of the same character, and used to call people such as these "Salt of the Earth". Unfortunately they passed away -- Orus Will Stokes June 2, 1925 - March 6, 2012 at the age of 86 and Odus Fred Stokes June 2, 1925 - August 12, 2013 at the age of 88.

The piece was filmed in 2009 -- Gold bless both of them. I wonder if an any of Orus' ex-wives showed up at his funeral -=- LOL

They sure reminded me of my grandfather, He worked harder after he retired until he couldn't.

I love the fact that there was no OBDII equipment ANYWHERE in that shop  :))

I love watching Texas Country Reporter. Even before I lived in Texas I would watch TCR every Sunday morning on RFD. Many great stories have been told by Bob and his wife Kelli.
