Gary "Buzz" Shoemaker
July 29, 1938 - November 28. 2022
Since High School: After graduation I worked for Convair in Pomona. Married Karen Timmons (“Timmie”) in 1958, and have lived in this area since. We started Shoemaker Trucking in 1960. I hauled bulk cement and later sub-hauled for Kaiser Steel. Sold my trucks in 1970 and worked in the family leather business for 20 years. During that time, I restored a ’32 roadster, 3 antique sprint cars and a ’53 GMC truck. I hauled hay, part-time, in the “Jimmy,” entered it in various truck shows and won a few trophies. Sold the GMC, purchased and restored a long-nose Kenworth truck and trailer and hauled hay from the Imperial Valley to various dairies in Chino until I retired in 1994.
Larry Eugene Whitenack, 80, passed away peacefully at home on Feb. 1, in Yucaipa.
