When you hired the “white painter with the brown truck”, you got a team. Poncho went everywhere with John and everyone in the contracting business knew and loved Poncho. He loved belly rubs, chasing squirrels, malted beverages and most of all going to work with John. Poncho fought cancer valiantly but lost his battle March 24, 2009. He was a beloved pet and companion of John Turpin, Tami Avis and family. He will be sorely missed. He was one of a kind.
