Family Friend, biker, passed.

My family lost a friend today. A best friend of my older brother and a person who has been in my life for the better part of 25 yrs.
Haven't had time to figure out what to say, the only time my bike has left me stranded he hooked up the trailer and drove over 100 miles to get me and bring it back to my garage. Not a word other than sorry you broke down. Then was there when I tore into it, he couldn’t miss that.
A friend of Sturgis trips, daily rides, high school drunks, highs and too many bon fires to count or even begin to think about.
He passed away from ??? (possible cardiac arrest) at 10 this morning and just around the 40 yr mark. The pics attached are Sturgis 03.
Bob, rest in peace……

I am sorry to hear that, he sounds like a good friend. remember him with a prayer when you are riding, he could just be somewhere near.

Sorry about your loss 90 Harley. Might be a good time to take a solo ride and take your buddy with you in spirit. Take care and ride like he's next to you.

Thanks

Thanks for your thoughts, they all help get through.
We had a group of about 20 friends gather at his house and his roomate and girlfriend lead the 30 some mile trip to the funeral home on his ride. I put in a few pictures just because.
I did take a ride alone and then another 100 miles with the girlfriend. Helped clear the head.
