I just talked to JD at C&J Bus Repair in Bloomington, MN. He told me that his parts manager, Ives (pronouced Eve), had passed away last week. I know many of you have probably talked to him when ordering parts. He was a wonderful guy and will certainly be missed by those of us in the Minneapolis area.
Oh man, that is terrible. He was a great guy and the place will not be the same without him. :-(
Oh man, you guys just keep dumping bad news on us! I'm sorry to hear it! I've spoke with him often as I was ordering parts! It will be a long time before C & J can fill that spot with someone as knowledgable about parts as Ives was! He will truly be missed!
