Vacuum Cleaner Man

The owner of the store, Jimmy Stahakais, passed away about two months ago. I don't know if the store has moved or is gone but I just rode past there and the vacuum cleaner man and all the contents of the store are gone.

Vacuum Cleaner Man

The nice young lady working at the store told us that his name is Ephis, that she didn't mind us shaking his hand, and that she would be happy to photograph us doing so. She was a little surprised that we weren't there to buy a vacuum, though.
