Doyle's Wrench Open End Wrench

Canon 70D, EF100, f/13 @ 250th Sec.

Doyle was a highly skilled mechanic. He held high standards, yet was kind, patient, and caring. He was my mentor for automobile mechanics, carpentry and above all, for living a self-giving, productive life.

Doyle was my father-in-law.

This wrench has been rattling around in my toolbox for years. I cannot recall when or how I acquired it. It may have been one of Doyle's tools that I inherited years ago.

John's Club Hammer

Canon 70D, EF-S15-85mm, f/20 @ 125th sec.

John, my brother-in-law, was another positive influence who worked along side me, an inexperienced teenager, as we repaired my beat up old cars. John passed along valuable skills, techniques, and best of all, a "can do" attitude that have served me well through the years. This is John's well-used club hammer.
