Keep it going
Ralph Jellyman was my friend for 25+ years.
20 of them, he and his family live next door to me. I watched his daughters grow up.
They are more than just neighbors. If you could order neighbors from a catalog, they would be considered top shelf. There just isn't any better poeple than the Jellyman's.
Please don't let this go away, if you know something, give it up, Please Help these wonderful people find closure, please....
Thank You, Steven & EvelynK

Truckers never die. Trucking does not die. They get assigned a large car in the big sky country. (Sorry Montana...) As long we live, we remember them. Therefore they are just passing through and they live because YOU remember them.

Ralph Jelleyman. A driver with a heart of gold. Never seen R.J. ever get mad or raise his voice at anyone. Always a smile on his face. I worked with him at Red Star and NPME. A lot of good memories. I can't believe it been 17 years and they still have no answers to who the other driver was. RIP my friend.

I remember people talking about a confrontation with a SalSon driver. It never got resolved or confirmed. Artie Weitzel was a good friend. Was going home that morning to take his boys xmas shopping. Didn't make it past Wyomissing. Somehow he hit a car left on the shoulder.

I was unaware Artie is no longer with us. I moved south almost 20 years ago. Artie was one of a kind. I worked with him at Lentz around 1980-81. I can still see him struttin' in like he owned the place, great guy to work with.
RIP Artie....

Artie was on the homestretch from Baltimore to Reading on a Saturday morning in December 2005 just a week or so before xmas. Like I said earlier, he clipped a disabled car on the shoulder on 222 N just before it meets 422 in Wyomissing. He hit his head very badly and had massive swelling on his brain. He was an organ donor. To honor Artie, ever since then I have myself listed as an organ donor. He was a great person.
