    A legend in the medical equipment field, especially here in the Carolinas ! What a blessing to work with him and to follow his path with so many customers who loved him. So many good memories and stories I could tell from our trips and conventions together. We hold the unofficial land speed record from Cumming , GA to Boca Raton Fla. I can still hear him telling me to push that pedal harder, this BMW will handle it !
    Blessings to Marsha and to all of the family,
    David and Vickie Bullington
