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”.
