up from far and wide to obtain parts before the fire i had about 50 tires hanging in the garage he says i saved them from bikes that couldnt be repaired beanie picked up many of his other possessions during his days as a garbage collector the people of stouffville would get a kick out of seeing his truck drive by with bicycles dolls and other castoffs fastened to the side whenever someone was clearing out a basement he would salvage the items worth saving says john lunau of markham one of beanies closest friends before the fire took its toll beanie had a collection of about 50 canes he also had about 200 records and a pair of felt hats that belonged to the late dr sangster i managed to save the hats says beanie with pride theyre over 100yearsold but he lost a lot i stored everthing
