SOUTH WHITLEY, Ind. (AP) - Semi-trucks, motorcycles and classic cars rolled through a rural area in northern Indiana to honor a fellow trucker who is dying from brain cancer.
The drivers wanted to show their respect for Jon Kuckuck, who sat in a wheelchair and watched a parade of dozens of vehicles pass his home Saturday in South Whitley, WANE-TV reported.
The drivers also raised money for Kuckuck's wife, Tami.
'œI think really the biggest thing is just how important friends and community are," Tami Kuckuck said. 'œWe have an amazing group of friends and an amazing community that has been our legs through this whole journey.'ť
