It was one heck of a run; he was just a week shy of his 94th birthday.

A very friendly and jovial person, always the life of any party, he's certainly a character that will be missed.

I suppose the greatest trait I got fom him, is my willingness to strike up a conversation with anyone; he would speak to anybody, whether they wanted to be talked to or not!

If any of you are out riding around in your Healeys the next few days, could you please turn your lights on? I'd like you all to help him see his way back home.

Randy,
You have my most sincere sympathies. Your dad looked like one happy fellow in those images! Someone comfortable with himself and proud to be with his son. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sorry for your loss. And thanks from all of us who now have a serious lump in the throat, as we take a few moments to remember what's really important.
