Main Street icon hangs up the wrenches

DSC_0054COSHOCTON – Dave Lauvray has changed oil, replaced brakes and repaired just about anything else that needed fixing on vehicles of all types for 52 years. He is pictured here checking the tire pressure on one of the final vehicles he had on the rack on Wednesday, Dec. 30. He said there were lots of memorable moments, and he recalls the time when a truck fell off of the rack. Lauvray said, “I’ll miss the people – and the cars, I like to work on cars, but mostly I’ll miss the people, that’s what keeps you going.” He said he was going to enjoy just “doing nothing.” All of Lauvray’s friends know that he likes the game of golf – and he said that he did something this year that he had not done before, which was, “I shot my age this year.” That brought a few chuckles from some of the “gang” that comes in to talk with Lauvray. And of course, Lauvray added, “We’re not going to tell people how old I am. They will have to guess.”
