Just a suggestion and a quick story: The role model that taught me everything about cars died very young (53), of cancer. On his final day I had him sign my drivers helmet, on the back with a sharpie. He too, was a bit of a local legend. We also hung one of his fire suits from a hanger in his room for everyone to sign instead of a "get well" journal. If he means that much to you, honor him by wearing his name.
