What was my father's Occupation

My father was mechanic all of his working career. He first worked at a dehydrating plant as a mechanic on tractors and other equipment. When I was about 10, he changed jobs. He worked for a fruit company and repaired their fleet trucks. After I reached adulthood, he started his own business which lasted over 20 years. I was interested in mechanic work and my Dad and I had many special projects together.
