so i share a name with my father and his father before. I wear that as a badge of honor. Joseph Andre' Ouellette III will be something that will never let me forget my father....and I am proud of that. A lot of people who didnt work with my old man or see how he was on a daily basis didnt realize how damn funny and goofy he was. He had nicknames for everyone, some we made up together, others were his own. Not only nicknames but ballbusting was his second profession which is probably why chrisitine barbara and I are the way we are---luckily :).
Everyday we go to F.W. Webb to get parts, one afternoon Jason happenned to say hey "dirtbag" or something to that effect to my dad....he looked around like DeNiro in "Taxi Driver" like "You talkin to me?" and from that point on in dad's book jasons new Name was "DirtBag"-a tradition i will continue till the day i join my father in heaven. Another thing i will never forget is every single time he would call randy in the warehouse he would call him a "big freak" cuz hes like 6 ft 5 and 270 lbs....to be continued-----work called---im back....so yeah Randy's a big freak. Another nickname we made up together was for a truck driver named mike ferguson...i saw a clip from "saturday night live" called celebrity jeopardy and burt reynolds changed his name to "Turd Ferguson" 1/2 way thru the game..so i told dad about that and mike was turd from then on...he was so funny...ha ha....no he loved the guys at webb's like family. so do i....He also called his friend olli "the king of ashby".....i remember (with a smile) seeing multiple rent checks shoved into envelopes labeled "the king"....my dad was the biggest ballbuster on earth....thats where i get it from and i do it proudly in his honor...he was so funny hed give chris rock a run for his money...
