Fire on Wells Road

A fire this morning destroyed G&R's Body Shop, 1846 Wells Road, in Collins.

Firefighters were on the scene as flames rose from the roof of the metal building, owned by Gary and Terri Grose. Gary and his brother, Randy, run the body shop business.

As a family friend of Gary, Terri and Randy my heart goes out to them. Randy used to live next to us for years and we became very close with his family. We had a house fire in 2001 and Gary, Terri and Randy did everything they could for us. Gary was also our family mechanic, we've been going to him for 15 plus years, whenever we've been hard up for money he was always willing to let us slide until we could pay him. I remember one year before christmas i had $400 worth of work that had to be done, he asked me if i had done christmas shopping yet and i said no i wasn't going to be able, he said pay me what you can now and the rest when you can. This just plain sucks :(
