A Message of Thanks

A message from Bill Reick's younger brother:
Hello,
Y'all don't know me, I am Bill's youngest brother, Chris. I really just wanted to 
extend my deepest gratitude for what you and the Georges employees/family 
has done and are doing for my brother. I am overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. 
I believe firmly that God is working through all of your generosity and I pray
 His blessings, mercy, grace and love be upon you all.
Blessings,
Chris Reick

We're thinking of Bill everyday as we await
his complete recovery.

Oh Dennis where are you sending us?

Does everyone remember Dennis, our overnight dispatcher............
aka, Duck Dynasty look alike


Dennis took a call from the PA Police Dept late last week,
next thing we know we're headed to the Peach Bottom
Nuclear Power Plant.

Upon arrival, we're told to tow a Harley Limited Edition
Pick-Up truck back to our yard........seems the driver was 
in a wee bit of trouble.  

ok, we've got the vehicle in our yard..........now what?

Thanks for the eventful night Dennis!

Keeping Bill and his family in our thoughts today

Here's Bill with Santa at our company Christmas party.

Two of Bill's children, Grace and Benjamin.

Let's keep the prayers and well wishes going so that Bill has a speedy recovery.

Just the other day I wrote a post about a tow guy who loves what 
he does because he gets to help people in distress

What happens when the tow guy himself is in distress?

Financial assistance is needed for Bill and his family
at this fragile moment.  

Together we can make a difference to help out
another tow guy and his family.

Life is Fragile.

One of our own employee's, friend and co-worker Bill Reick had
a massive heart attack requiring emergency triple by-pass surgery.
As of now he's in stable condition, with his eye on the healing journey ahead.

Bill is the bread winner for his family and this medical emergency has
put him and his family in a perilous situation.  It's hard enough having to
worry about your medical condition and quite another to endure the
financial hardship that's surely to arise.  

Prayers for Bill at this time would be most appreciated.  We're also requesting that 
our extended family here submit donations to ease the financial hardship that lay
ahead for Bill and his family. 

We're so proud of our team at George's Custom Towing!  Each
member gave $100.00 towards helping Bill's Family
during this trying time. Talk about compassionate hearts at work!

If you're able to contribute in any amount please call Alisha 
410-452-8970 or send by mail
2325 Whiteford Rd.
Whiteford, MD  21160

Thank you so much for your support.  Life is fragile.

Helping Drivers In Distress

The towing business is neat because you're always helping people. 
People are usually in dire straights when they call us.  You help people
out during emergencies, that's why I like it.

A very lovely sentiment from Robert Mandic of
Mandic Motors in Huntington Beach, Ca.
His father started the towing business in 1940 and
Robert has continued, loving every minute.

You can read the whole story here:  Story

His company has been recognized many times by AAA,
most recently in June 2014.  Mandic Motors
won the gold level AAA Service Providers of
Excellence Award.

At George's Custom Towing, George was recognized
for his Simple Act of Bravery.  Read About it Here

I think it's wonderful that AAA recognizes and acknowledges
our everyday heroes in the towing industry.

George Has All the Fun!

How Sweet it is


 It's not everyday you get a call to tow
a 1949 Crosley.....


 A Crosley that won 1st Place in the 1961 Florida Sebring Race
 A car enthusiast would know that the Crosley was 
manufactured by the Crosley Corporation and
later by Crosley Motors from 1939 - 1952.

In 1939 the first Crosley car was shown at Indianapolis
Speedway.  A 2 door convertible under 1,000 pounds that sold for
$250!!!!!! 

Way to go George!

If you need to have your precious cargo towed, be sure
to call George!

Jaws

...........you know summer is here when all the demon whales 
or man eating shark movies start appearing on TV.
As I was busily cleaning the house yesterday, in
the background was the movie channel........
playing these wonderful summer movies.

So where were you summer of 1975 
when the release of Jaws made it's debut?,
Has your life ever been the same again, I don't
think so! I know mine hasn't as I tip toe my way to
 the oceans edge and go no further! 

It doesn't help that there's been more and more shark sightings
this year and reports of injuries along the east coast. 
I'll stay cool in the pool!


There's another Jaws doing great works.......
The Jaws of Life

Our team has arrived at many emergency
roadside calls where the jaws of life was
used to free those stuck in a mangled vehicle.

So you see Jaws isn't all that bad!

Towing Hero

AAA handed out an award to Agave Towing and Recovery in 
Billings, Montana for saving the life of a 2 year old
in a locked vehicle.  This incident happened this past
January in 20 degree frigid weather.


The article went on to say that tow truck driver's respond to emergency 
situations everyday, you just never hear about them.

Shout out to all the towing hero's!

It's all in a days work.

So, imagine that while driving you come upon an accident
scene, you pull off to the shoulder of the road
 and before you can blink you find yourself involved in
your very own accident having been hit from behind..........
so, who do you call.........

We're local and we've got you covered.

Of course we're always disheartened when we arrive
at the scene of an accident  and we always do our very
best to calm down the nerves of all involved.  Accidents surely
have a way of shaking us up.
