The man who drove the Dodgers' team bus up and down the Florida Turnpike for 25 Spring Trainings passed away over the weekend.
"We were kidding Saturday," said Steve Garvey, "that Dad was picking up the Dodgers again, only when he opened the bus door, it was Hodges and Furillo and Campanella and Jackie getting on instead of Loney and Kemp. We got a big laugh out of that one."

Joe Garvey died of complications from Parkinson's Disease and diabetes. He was 81, and former Dodgers star Steve Garvey said his father had been in declining health for the last year. He will be entombed Thursday at Riverside National Cemetery.

Steve Garvey told Linda about his father's failing health when they spoke at the Dodger Weekend Festival in NJ last April.
