August 17, 2013 at 12:39 pm“Snowman”s voice on my CB as I drove home nights from my sales
calls was always a welcome sound. I had talked to him from New
Bedford, New London and other locations as he had a great location
in Putnam. I also miss all the other “Tri-State Wheeler-Dealers”,
many of whom have also passed.
