What a great guy and a Prowler friend, that will be truly missed by all of us who knew Geno. Geno had a heart of gold, and willing to help others with any situation.
I personally will deeply miss my friend Geno,,,we had many great times together at Prowler events.

Geno retired after a long career as a railroad man in late 2011, and was looking to spend many winter retirement months at the Texas property that he and Eleanor had purchased.

Both drivers are in critical condition. The Prowler driver Richard Mydlo was killed, sorry to report. I don't see him registered here on POA. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was 77.
Sandy's son saw it on the news in St. Louis and sent a picture. The Prowler is really heavily damaged. Happened this afternoon around 3:30PM.

From Kathy Wade Spruell Facebook page...
"This is Richard Mydlo. The most compassionate and considerate person I have ever known. When I started having problems with the stairs at work He didn't think twice and offered more than once to move the whole office downstairs. Who does that? Rich Mydlo! He was kind and he was funny. He made going to work fun. He made you want to do your very best. He was more than a boss, he was a friend.
My heart is broken and am so thankful that I was able to come back and work for him again.
When I decided I wanted to learn how to shoot a gun he was one to encourage me. He would make fun calling me old even though he was 77. He was an amazing person.
For those who don't already know, he is the one who died in the purple prowler yesterday on Hwy 30."

I'm truly sorry to inform our POA family about Lethia ,,,,

Visitation and Funeral >
Wednesday, December 14th, Tempe, AZ >
Visitation at 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
Funeral Service at 12:30pm the same day

Lethia suffered a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage on Nov. 22nd and spending 16 days in the Neuro ICU pod of the hospital, her liver, kidneys, and top portion of her stomach started failing. The Critical Care doctors conferred and explained that there was no way to save her life.

Lethia passed into the Arms of the Lord at 12:48pm on Thursday on Dec. 8th

For 16 days, Lethia was sedated, and never gained clear consciousness. She had 7 surgeries, mostly to relieve vasospasm complications, but her Neurosurgeon figured she was over any concerns with her brain issues causing any further problems and said he figured that Lethia would return back to normal after a month or two. Apparently, the Critical Care doctors seemed to drop the ball maintaining her blood pressure and other bodily actions properly. Too many things were failing her, and a complete recovery became the issues keeping her from progressing forward.

I'll be totally lost without Lethia,,she has been my whole life and inseparable love for the past 16 years. I'm heartbroken beyond words.

Thanks to everyone for your friendship to Lethia and I over the many years,

Larry

We have lost a good man, fun Prowler owner and to us a very dear personal friend. Bill and Lyann are behind so many great smiles at Prowler events and truly enjoy Prowler friends.

Bill proudly proclaimed on the Nova Scotia event in 2013, "I am so popular they named a very well known school after me. Somer School!"

A Vet, history buff and a man with a terrific sense of humor.

Bonnie went to bed last night & when I checked on her this morning, she was gone. She loved to go on Prowler cruises & talk with her Prowler friends. Thank you all for making her laugh when we got together. I miss her so much. Please say a prayer for her today.

Richard Jackson has passed away. He had Pancreatic cancer for the past year. He posted as EyeDoc or something similar. I have to look at that again, since it has been awhile since he posted.
The funeral is not until Sept. 9th, in Fairfield, OH, just north of Cincinnati. I will post more later. I just found out a little while ago.
His wife has been in a rest home for about 3 years with ALS or something very similar.
He was a great guy. We had a LOT of laughs together. He loved gadgets and I am not into it, so it was a perfect match up, lol.
