'Two weeks ago, Jack Dunkle was sitting with his best friend Bob Barnes at his auto parts store. Barnes was telling a story to his friend of over 40 years. Dunkle looked pale, but he waved Barnes off when asked if he needed anything,' ZitoSalena writes.
“A little bit later, as Jack started to leave, he turned and paused for a moment at the threshold of the shop door, looked over his shoulder, and said to me, 'I do need something, but it is not anything anyone, including you, can give me, and that is time,’” recalled Barnes, 70, who chokes up over the memory.It was the last time he saw Dunkle alive. The 76-year-old died last week.
In the early days of the Lincoln Highway, gas and mechanical repairs were hard to find along the highway that stretched from Times Square in New York City to California. Dunkle's, with its ideal location 170 miles from Philadelphia and 100 from Pittsburgh, was a must-stop for anyone who hit the road from the East Coast until the turnpike was built in the 1940s.
“Before I drove, I would go in and buy my soft drinks from their old soda fountain, it was a dollar cheaper than buying it out of a plastic bottle and tasted a lot better,” Ebersole said. “Dunkle’s Gulf has long been an important part of our history,” Slayton said. “It has drawn national attention to downtown Bedford with its deeply rooted history, very cool art deco facility, and high-quality service.”
