He’s a quiet man by nature, but just about the kindest and happiest one you’ll ever meet.

You’ll find Miles St. Amand Monday through Friday at Best Buy Propane on Cariboo Hwy, where he’s been working since Oct. 1, 1991, he said — the only thing he had written down on a piece of paper when meeting with the Tribune.

In 1991, the gas station was called Del’s Propane and was located down by CN Rail.
