Ralph Sanborn, owner of Sanborn’s Auto Shop, which has operated in my town for longer than I’ve been alive, has died. He called me “Mr. B.S.”, which he would claim stood for Big Shot. Last time I saw him he handed me a paper bag. He said, “Here, I found this thing in the gutter.” Inside was an Asiago bagel that he got for me to eat during my appointment because months before I’d mentioned in passing how much I loved them. In the summer, we’d have ice cream at Liliuokalani's on Paugus Bay with our wives. Like me, he was a true dog-lover. Ralph was a really great guy, had an enormous capacity for hard work, and was a world class shit talker. RIP Mr. Sanborn…..
