Restaurant owner provided ‘blessing’

To the editor:
After eating at Tony’s Bar-B-Que Barn after a group motorcycle ride to Lawrenceburg on June 20, my motorcycle would crank but not start.
Tony Howard, the owner of the restaurant whom I’d never met, saw what was going on and asked if he could help. We informed Tony of the problem and he proceeded to empty the bed of his pickup truck.
Tony, I and several friends from Southeast Christian Church in Louisville loaded my bike onto his truck, and Tony drove me to Louisville and dropped me off at home.
Folks, this was an 84-mile roundtrip from someone I had never met. What an unbelievable blessing.
In return, I’m doing my best to spread the word about Tony, his restaurant and his unbelievable act of kindness.
To some, this may come as no surprise. But to others, you need to know that [his restaurant] is owned by someone who truly cares about others.
Give him a visit whenever you can, and tell him his new friend Ed said hello.
