I will miss you Pops! So often seeing you at rallies, bike nights, bike shows, riding with you and our Dear missed Friend Mitch in Sturgis. You were always one of my favorites. Riding in those sandals always made me chuckle. You always made me smile, you were a superior person. Till we meet again, Rest in Peace.
