A Message of Thanks

A message from Bill Reick's younger brother:
Hello,

Y'all don't know me, I am Bill's youngest brother, Chris. I really just wanted to 

extend my deepest gratitude for what you and the Georges employees/family 

has done and are doing for my brother. I am overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. 

I believe firmly that God is working through all of your generosity and I pray

 His blessings, mercy, grace and love be upon you all.

Blessings,
Chris Reick

Oh Dennis where are you sending us?

Does everyone remember Dennis, our overnight dispatcher............

aka, Duck Dynasty look alike

Dennis took a call from the PA Police Dept late last week,

next thing we know we're headed to the Peach Bottom

Nuclear Power Plant.

Upon arrival, we're told to tow a Harley Limited Edition

Pick-Up truck back to our yard........seems the driver was 

in a wee bit of trouble.  

ok, we've got the vehicle in our yard..........now what?

Thanks for the eventful night Dennis!

Keeping Bill and his family in our thoughts today

Here's Bill with Santa at our company Christmas party.

Two of Bill's children, Grace and Benjamin.

Let's keep the prayers and well wishes going so that Bill has a speedy recovery.

Just the other day I wrote a post about a tow guy who loves what 

he does because he gets to help people in distress. 

What happens when the tow guy himself is in distress?

Financial assistance is needed for Bill and his family

at this fragile moment.  

Together we can make a difference to help out

another tow guy and his family.

Life is Fragile.

One of our own employee's, friend and co-worker Bill Reick had

a massive heart attack requiring emergency triple by-pass surgery.

As of now he's in stable condition, with his eye on the healing journey ahead.

Bill is the bread winner for his family and this medical emergency has

put him and his family in a perilous situation.  It's hard enough having to

worry about your medical condition and quite another to endure the

financial hardship that's surely to arise.  

Prayers for Bill at this time would be most appreciated.  We're also requesting that 

our extended family here submit donations to ease the financial hardship that lay

ahead for Bill and his family. 

We're so proud of our team at George's Custom Towing!  Each

member gave $100.00 towards helping Bill's Family

during this trying time. Talk about compassionate hearts at work!

If you're able to contribute in any amount please call Alisha

Helping Drivers In Distress

The towing business is neat because you're always helping people. 

People are usually in dire straights when they call us.  You help people

out during emergencies, that's why I like it.

A very lovely sentiment from Robert Mandic of

Mandic Motors in Huntington Beach, Ca.

His father started the towing business in 1940 and

Robert has continued, loving every minute.

You can read the whole story here:  Story

His company has been recognized many times by AAA,
most recently in June 2014.  Mandic Motors

won the gold level AAA Service Providers of

Excellence Award.

At George's Custom Towing, George was recognized
for his Simple Act of Bravery.  Read About it Here

I think it's wonderful that AAA recognizes and acknowledges
our everyday heroes in the towing industry.

George Has All the Fun!

How Sweet it is

 It's not everyday you get a call to tow

a 1949 Crosley.....

 A Crosley that won 1st Place in the 1961 Florida Sebring Race

 A car enthusiast would know that the Crosley was 

manufactured by the Crosley Corporation and

later by Crosley Motors from 1939 - 1952.

In 1939 the first Crosley car was shown at Indianapolis

Speedway.  A 2 door convertible under 1,000 pounds that sold for

$250!!!!!! 

Way to go George!

If you need to have your precious cargo towed, be sure

to call George!

Jaws

...........you know summer is here when all the demon whales 

or man eating shark movies start appearing on TV.

As I was busily cleaning the house yesterday, in

the background was the movie channel........

playing these wonderful summer movies.

So where were you summer of 1975 

when the release of Jaws made it's debut?,

Has your life ever been the same again, I don't

think so! I know mine hasn't as I tip toe my way to

 the oceans edge and go no further! 

It doesn't help that there's been more and more shark sightings
this year and reports of injuries along the east coast. 
I'll stay cool in the pool!

There's another Jaws doing great works.......

The Jaws of Life

Our team has arrived at many emergency

roadside calls where the jaws of life was

used to free those stuck in a mangled vehicle.

So you see Jaws isn't all that bad!

Towing Hero

AAA handed out an award to Agave Towing and Recovery in 

Billings, Montana for saving the life of a 2 year old

in a locked vehicle.  This incident happened this past

January in 20 degree frigid weather.

Article Here

The article went on to say that tow truck driver's respond to emergency 

situations everyday, you just never hear about them.

Shout out to all the towing hero's!

It's all in a days work.
