The Generosity of Trickie Enterprises

Blackjack 6 (Nick Parnello) describes General Ike Trickie as a magical man. A musical man. And even more than that, he says that General Ike is a miracle worker.

Running twelve businesses at the same time might sound impossible, but General Ike manages to do it, and he does it with style and always does a great job. A former chef, and a hands-on guy, Ike is the proprietor of Trickie Enterprises in Machesney Park, Illinois.

Ike’s businesses provide a lot of services, including snow plowing, driveway seal-coating, parking lot striping, and more. A lot more. And he has lots of very happy customers.

He’s also a patriot and a great friend of veterans and of Operation Fallen Flags. General Ike recently surprised everyone by providing a great new space in one of his buildings for The Glory Truck to live – a safe, warm place that even includes a place where The Smoke Brothers can get together.

One of the most amazing things happened just recently. The Glory Truck’s transmission had failed, meaning that The Glory Truck was disabled. When the nice people at Lou Bachrodt Auto Mall found out, they provided a replacement transmission for The Glory Truck – and then, one of General Ike’s employees, Jeremy Rager, was nice enough to do all the work of installing the transmission – making it possible for The Glory Truck to continue its important work.

It’s friends like Ike Trickie of Trickie Enterprises who make it possible for The Smoke Brothers to keep going on their mission of replacing fallen American flags.
