Darrell Elder of Elder Salvage and Towing in Norwood, CO passed away Saturday from an apparent heart condition.
Services will be Sunday February 26th at 2PM at the Norwood Cemetery located on Grand Ave. between CO Road 43Z South and 44Z South. With a pot luck afterwards at the Community Center at 1670 Naturita St Norwood, CO 81423. The family would like to have a tow truck procession. I, unfortunately, will not be able to attend due to a previous engagement, so any volunteers to help the family with that would be greatly appreciated!!!
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested (at Darrell's own request before his death) that since he never really liked flowers and the Widows and Orphans Fund has been depleted, that contributions be made to the fund on his behalf.
Thank you all in advance and please keep John, Joleene and family in your thoughts and prayers.
Wayne Mooney passed away on March 26, 2012. For more information on Wayne and on services, please visit Denver West Towing website.

CDOT has installed a lot of cable guard rail on I-70 and I-25. This cable is under a lot of tension even when it is off of the hangers. If we have an accident where a vehicle gets entangled with the guardrail, do not cut the cable.
We need to notify CDOT before any of these cables are cut. The danger is in cutting a cable that is under tension as significant weight can cause the cable to recoil and whip that could result in serious or fatal injury.
The International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum has successfully launched the towing industry Survivor Fund. The Survivor Fund is the latest addition to the ITRHFM family and was established to help the families of the men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of service. |
