CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. (AP) – Jeff Hornagold loved being a UPS driver.

So when he died this week of lung cancer, longtime co-worker Michael McGowan agreed to take him on one last delivery.

McGowan transported Hornagold’s body from Davenport Family Funeral Home to Saturday’s funeral services in his UPS truck.

Hornagold was a UPS driver for 20 years, and his wife Judy Hornagold described him as “just the happiest UPS man alive.”

She says the special delivery was the perfect tribute.
