St Joesph IL. was this Amoco Station, now Toyota Forklift Service.

I believe Dean Rudicil owned this back then. Before Toyota Lift Trucks bought it. It was known as Rudicil Garage, a family business started in 1924. We would often take our trucks there for safety inspections. Dean enlisted in the Army in 1948 and after being discharged, Sgt. Rudicil came home to the family business. He is/was quite the character. The last time I saw dean was 2018/2019 and he was in his late 80's and as far as I know is still kicking as of this writing.
