RC was a true friend and brother. He made sure the events we did flowed and he will be truly missed. I will be forever grateful for knowing him. I spoke with him often about life, bikes, and shanigans we both did growing up. I love you brother, save a bike amd a tank of gas for me.
Karen and Family, I am so sorry for the passing of your dear husband and dad. I will never forget him putting up flags for my dad’s visitation. It was done with the upmost care. It truly meant a lot to me (and my family) as I was very close to my dad. Please know I am thinking of you all. Praying for peace.
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
