Bruce was killed today in Wyoming.
According to reports, he was the last in line passing a pickup truck that hit him as he passed.
Died doing what he loved.
Destination Daytonna and his huge heart for children's benefits will be his legacy.
Sad.

I think that his "Destination Daytona" is the largest Harley dealership, he owns (guess his estate) many dealerships, not just in Florida, but dealerships in Colorado, Tennessee, and I think I read Massachusetts as well. I also read that he was the chairman on many charities, not to mention he donated a lot to his community of Ormond Beach, never meet the man, but seems like he had a big heart and an eye for business, he will be missed.

He was a very good man, dedicated to this hobby... I met him for about 10 minutes... He handed me the keys to a screamin eagle V-Rod in Daytona in 2006 that I won in a raffle... my thoughts are with him closest friends, family and employees...

RIP

Went to Destination Daytona today.

Was going to stop for lunch and a beer. Ended up driving through and coming home.

I didn't personally know him, but for some reason it just hit home...

RIP Mr. Rossmeyer.
