I don't really know why this one got to me, I only saw it on a local notices page while I was looking up something else entirely and then I just sat there reading it twice. Twenty odd years driving for the same gravel company, that's not nothing, that's a whole life of early starts and someone waiting at home. My own dad drove lorries for a bit before I was born and Mum always said the house felt different when he was out on a long haul, quiet in a way that wasn't peaceful. The bit that stuck with me was him being the seventh of ten, I keep trying to picture that house. And the daughter, Jennifer, the obituary says she was his proudest thing, not the job, not the years, her. Sorry, I'm rambling, I never even knew him, I just think some people do the ordinary stuff properly and nobody notices until a notice like this turns up.
