LEADING THE WAY

The Man, my Mentor, Legend and Also known as DAD is what I call him being Mr. Donald M. Coffin

As a permanent Greyhound bus memorial, a blue License plate on the right bumper of a new Greyhound bus in front that reads, “IN HONOR OF DONALD M. COFFIN, MR. GREYHOUND”

I was presented with the Greyhound bus picture this past Tuesday right before Independence Day

I felt honored and Dad would certainly be pleased

At this moment, I feel so at ease

Mr. Donald Coffin died in 2017 at the age of 93, but I know he is resting comfortably 

Yet the message is, “Where that Greyhound Bus, Mr. Coffin’s spirit will always offer direction

Dad will always be the guiding light in the Greyhound bus highway

So if that Greyhound bus should ever get lost have no fear, as Mr. Coffin will always be near

Mr. Coffin devoted his entire life to buses

It was Greyhound in particular

Dad will always be my center piece I my heart and soul

My wisdom and understanding came from his behold

Mr. Coffin is the man that taught me everything I needed to know about buses

I was the Greyhound Historian and I was his student

So how fitting in the Greyhound Bus honor

Mr. Coffin vision was buses being ahead of their time

The open road to Dad was a Bus of any kind

So the heritage vision has been established in me

I thank Greyhound for giving Dad that well deserved recognition

Appreciation within my heart

Establishment having the honor

The road will always greet and welcome the Donald M. Coffin name

It will be Heaven in telling Greyhound, “Start your engines as it is the road to take aim but remembrance of Donald M. Coffin that will always remain

“Lead by heritage and vintage being everlasting”.
