We all know how hard it is
to lose a friend or family member,death,does not come easy,for ANYBODY,Well?I
lost a 25 year friend 6 weeks ago and I believe he went the way any furniture
mover would have wanted to go,at the end of a pack and load...There's a bunch
of background...
John Rush(RIP)had a medical
problem in Georgia 6 weeks ago. I talked to him twice that day and just thought
it was a cold....His help realized it was more and took him to a doctor,who
placed him in ICU,where he did not return...A pulmonary embolism,took his
life.....Imagine a driver dieing on the road and what a mess it was to clean
up..
Up Steps Arpin,gets the
truck secured,moved to a locked lot,and at that point they step in and work out
the details with Johns 5 years girlfriend for EVERYTHING. Talk about a FAMILY
of movers?
Every aspect was overseen by
them and to the last detail,they listened to the tears...
NOW,They are in the process
of getting her stuff moved back to Atlanta(she could not afford to live in
California by herself)and I don't think there's going to be anything published
as to just what they have done to help. I HAD to say something.....Special
thanks need to go out to David Arpin(for being there),Dave Vieira,and most of
all to Bruce Fox,he listened to the tears,and DID something about it.
AND folks wonder why I'm so
happy here at Arpin???They got our back........Thanks for letting me be here.
John's background and years
in the industry are covered in the obit:
John Dewey Rush, 65, of
Grover Beach, California unexpectedly went to be with the Lord on Friday, March
9, 2012. His mate of nearly 5 years, Juli DeCarlo, and long-time friend,
Michelle Hagarman, were by his side.
John was born to the late
Benard Clarence Rush and Jessie Anderson on May 26, 1946 in Warren, Ohio. After
graduating high school, he served our country in the Army. Once discharged,
John became a long-haul truck driver and spent most of his life on the road
serving the public. He had such a zeal for life and enjoyed being on the road
travelling the United States. With his contagious laugh, witty humor and caring
personality, he made long-lasting friendships everywhere he went.
During his 30+ years as a
driver and mover, he worked for North American Van Lines and, most recently,
Arpin Van Lines. While picking up a load in Valdosta, Georgia, John fell ill on
Tuesday, March 6 and was admitted to Tifton Regional Medical Center. Great
praise is deserved for the doctors and ICU nurses who fought tirelessly and
exhausted all resources to save John.
John is survived by his
mate, Juli DeCarlo. His remains were cremated, and no formal memorial service
was held. If a memorial gift would like to be given, it is requested to be sent
to Juli DeCarlo at 651 South 9th St, Grover Beach, CA 93433 to defer
costs of handling John’s estate.
John’s beaming smile,
cheerful laugh, and enduring friendship will be dearly missed by all who knew
him.

It is always sad to lose one of ours. Arpin is a first class company who understands family.
