Question A body in UPS truck? wow, sad and little strange...

Co-worker drives body in UPS truck

Co-worker agrees to take body of man who died of cancer to funeral service

Michael McGowan plans to keep picture of deceased co-worker in his truck

Widow describes her husband as having been "the happiest UPS man alive"

CRYSTAL LAKE, Illinois (AP) -- Jeff Hornagold loved being a UPS driver.

So when the suburban Chicago man died this week of lung cancer, longtime co-worker Michael McGowan agreed to take him on one last delivery.
McGowan transported Hornagold's body from Davenport Family Funeral Home to Saturday's funeral services in his UPS truck.
McGowan says he plans to keep a picture of Hornagold in his truck until he retires so that they can keep riding together.
Hornagold was a UPS driver for 20 years, and his wife Judy Hornagold described him as "just the happiest UPS man alive."
She says the special delivery was the perfect tribute.

Thanks for the thread, but why is it that you seem to be every where?

Not sure what you mean by that? I get google alerts whenever there's something in the news about about UPS so I posted a link to this story... are you saying I shouldn't have? I'm confused...

Actually I'm an ONT guy who got bumped 13 numbers or so by the older but "fair" pilots... Is APC addiction contagious? Because if it is I think I just gave it to you…
