John Riley of Brookfield took a train to Chicago and then got a ride to south suburban Homewood to buy a truck from John Stone.
Stone was fired from his job at Weeb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn when he wore the tie a day after the bears lost to the pack.
He now works for Chevrolet of Homewood.
Riley says he heard Stone's story on the radio and decided to support a fellow Packers fan.
