Home Trades, Passes and Bombs

Mike (MTuccelli) is a great brother

So Mike sent a Christmas gift over for me and my Step Father (Steve is battling a brain tumor)... but the gift was stolen from my porch... so, in true Mike fashion, he sent over a replacement package...

I've never received a more thoughtful gift... Steve and I were getting set to start restoring a 56 GMC pickup when he had a second tumor show up... it was basically like he had a stroke, so that put an end to the restoration project before it even started... so Mike took it upon himself to give Steve and I another shot!

he included a very nice note with the gift... i was overcome with emotion... while this gift is simple, it symbolizes a second chance for Steve and I to bond... I can't even express what this means to me...

On top of that, Mike's Mom heard that my original package was stolen, so she "got collage crazy and pumped this one out" for me! so awesome!

It's already hanging in my office and I'll think of her generosity every time I look at it!

as if all this weren't enough, Mike saw fit to include 5 beauties! I have been jonesing for these Nub Dubs for a LONG time! The Decade is a top 10 Favorite for me and this is my favorite vitola and the 1495 is high on my Must Try list!

I can't even express how much this means to me... Mike has been a source of strength for me during some tough times this pas year... I appreciate him as a BORK, Brother and a dear Friend. Thanks so much Mike!

    Mike does it again! There is so much more to that than a model truck, collage, and a handful of cigars. He just knows how to do the magic!

    I'm truly happy for you Rob.... this thoughtful of a gift is the reason that I continue to believe in people while I see such despicable behavior all around in this day and age. Mike and the brothers on here are a different breed however... we see opportunities not to gain something for ourselves but instead look for ways to help others regardless of their own personal situation. Mike, you are one of the truest selfless human beings I have ever known, it is truly an honor to call you friend. And Rob.... a more deserving friend I couldn't name. Congrats Rob, and thank you Mike... just WOW

    Rob when you and Steve get done putting that model together how about some pictures :o) and I look forward to your review of the Dubs. A little FYI for the brothers and sisters here....for some crazy reason the model makers don't make a model for the 1956 GMC truck. They make models for everything else but that truck....crazy!
