Obituary....

Eric Tapley, former mechanic of 13 years passed away last Monday while, ironically enough, repairing a transmission in his SUV. He died of a sudden heart attack around 7:00 p.m.
Tapley, who had no former health conditions to this extent was a long time local of the town of Standish. " he was always so kind, and he always fixed my car at a decent price." local annie briggs added. The funeral has been scheduled for this Sunday and the attendance level is supposed to be quite large. "everyone in the town knew him, he was our town mechanic, its such a terrible loss of such a great person." said town official andrew lacey.
He had worked for NAPA auto parts for the first 7 years of his career before becoming self employed right across the street from his biggest competition, Standish, Mobil. " he was one hell of a competitor, every time we lowered our price, he insisted on going one cent lower." current Standish, Mobile owner said.
eric had been working on cars ever since he took shop class in High School. He was playing with toy cars and pretewnding to repair them ever since watching NASCAR as a child. He was his life ling dream to work in a pit crew.
The funeral will be held in Sebago Lake village at the united church of Christ at 11:00 a.m. and the families have requested that everyone park in their driveway if needed which is right across the street.
