Farewell Old Friend

Funeral services for the truck, aka (The Pig) were conducted Friday, February 19, 2010 at 3:00pm, at the Insurance Office.


The Pig passed away Monday, February 15, 2010 after a long and hard fight against injuries sustained in the Sanoran Desert. It is survived by the grieving Chatelain family.

The Pig valiantly served as a work truck carrying countless steal castings, rubber liners, urethane screens, and various other products to customers in six western states. It also served the family well over the years. It safely carried them camping, traveling, and on every day tasks such as grocery store trips, ice cream runs, concerts, hockey games, and Daddy Daughter dates.

No single member of the family will miss the beloved Pig more than the travel trailer (aka Dutch). It watched over the family and protected them through two major interstate moves. It also bravely served many other families through countless moves and assistance. The Pig will be sadly missed by the family who is now down to one car.

Special Thanks go out to the rescuers of the Tohono O' Odham Nation and AAA Towing.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the family new car fund at Bank of America or Jim's right front pocket.

In Loving Memory

The Pig

2004 - 2010
