I always got a kick out of him. Lots of great stories. His dad (whom I worked with a lot) even more so.

Likewise, there are a lots of great stories out there about the person called "Buckethead" who's referenced on this thread.

If you run into Junior again, ask him to tell you about the time his dad flagged the (Western Pacific) California Zephyr out in East Oakland and rode it to work.
