show moreIn this episode, executive producer Phil Tower and co-hosts Al Schwinkendorf and John Puhek remember AutoTalk host, Pat O'Neill. We were sad to learn that Pat had passed away at the age of 92. To say that Pat was bigger than life would be an understatement. Pat was the kind of person who knew what he believed in and was passionate about life, business, and his family.
Pat founded O'Neill's Auto & Transmission in 1960 and today, O'Neills is one of the oldest enduring businesses in the Cascade area that still serves the community under O'Neill family ownership.
Pat also took his trade seriously, with statewide leadership roles in several auto repair industry organizations, and years of work as an expert witness in auto litigation. With his own success, Pat paid it forward through a long history of supporting entrepreneurs in his field.
Pat O'Neill was perhaps best known to our community as the long-time host of WOOD Radio's "Auto Talk" which aired in a top-rated slot on Saturday mornings on WOOD Radio for many years. Pat was a natural on the radio and brought great wisdom to the program as well as his trademark sense of humor and camaraderie with his hosts in the studio. Pat was an incredibly generous man who loved helping West Michigan listeners solve automotive issues large and small and took great satisfaction in that public service.
Al and John and Phil also use the opportunity of this episode to share some stories about Pat O'Neill that you will love hearing. If you never knew Pat, he will know him better after listening to this episode!
