October 17, 2012 Ray Gleason is the last man standing in the family-owned Des Plaines auto repair shop — started by his father and World War II veteran Harry Gleason in 1956 — where he and his brother, Hal, learned to be grease monkeys as teenagers. Now, after 56 years in business, the family is forced to sell Gleason's Automotive at 173 S. Wolf Road due to economic hardship, said the 60-year-old Gleason Tuesday.
