They made it to the nearest gas station, and had just lifted the hood, to find the source of the leak and problem when Tony wandered over and got right up in there to help. That's what Yoopers do, they help each other (and tourists)
He said hang on, be right back, and quicker than you can say "Sisu Power", he was back with tools, solved the problem (Kevin and my sister didn't have tools in their truck, problem most of us have) and had them ready for the trip home quick. Note, it's 7 degrees below freezing, he's bare handed, no jacket.
Not all heroes wear capes!
He paused for a selfie with my sister, as Kevin filled up Tony's gas tank in thanks! I can't do that from San Diego, but I can let all of you know what an awesome guy came to the rescue of travelers in need!
The world isn't all bad! And thank you for posting credit where credit is due.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it’s only anecdotal, but this guy Tony reflects the thoughtful, considerate mind set of the few Yoopers I’m acquainted with. Bless him, as well as your sister and Kevin for their expression of gratitude.
ReplyDeleteGood for Tony! Thanks for giving him this honor.
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a nice guy. It was great that he helped them out.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned Sisu in this post. Have you seen the trailer for the movie "Sisu", by the people who make the John Wick series? It looks pretty wild. Some people in the YouTube comments were saying that the tank in the trailer is a Soviet one, but I don't know the difference.

I hope good things come to him. Bless him. Bless you and your family.
