    Saw that on some show last weekend. Truck driver who was an O/O from OK won 105 million dollars. Luck Lucky! Said he would buy a lotto ticket or 2 from each state he would go through.

    Thats not good man. That is a shame that you lost him at such a young age. My grandfather was also in his early 50s when he died. Boose and smoking will do it to you though.

    Thanks and the same to you on your grandfather...wish I could have known my grandfather...

    Anyway... my father drank alot when he was home, not on the road and smoked 4 packs a day of ciggs..not to mention the food that drivers had to eat on the road back in the 60's -90's... We have better choices today,,may not be healthy but way better than those days. I quit smoking but still like to drink a bit when home...LOL

    I never knew that grandfather either.

    He drove back in the 50s and 60s on and off until he went to the FBI academy and become a cop.
