Cappy and the John Deere

I met Cappy many years ago with my Dad, Malcolm Pierson.  We wanted some mowing done at my Grandmother's place.  We stopped by and spoke to him and sure enough it got done. A few years ago I need the same field mowed I called and he took care of it for me just like he did for my Dad.  A little later when my Dad had past away and my Mom was alone she mentioned that she often spoke to Cappy as they had been friends since childhood.  As time went on she said that they had many long talks on the phone.  When she past away I called him to tell him what had happened.  He was very upset.  Over the next few months he often called me, to chat about my Mom and his days on the penisula.  When we scheduled a memorial get together for my Mom in the following Spring we called Cappy as he had asked to let him know when we were celbrating her life, as he wanted to come.  Sure enough on the day we had her fiends over Cappy was right there.  I took him out in my boat and he had a ball.  Later in the day he gave me his regards and said he had to leave.  A short while later some mentioned they had seen Cappy and wondered who he had come with as he did not have a driving lisence anymore.  My neice said oh that didn't stop him she had seen him drive his John Deere tractor down and park it and then drive it off towads home.  I laughed out loud and have told that story several times to friends and each time I think of him I smile and have a bit of a laugh.  That is how ai will always think of him.  Maybe not doing things how you or I might but still getting them doen his own way.  I wil miss him.
