R.I.P. John!
09/04/11 at 12:30:51

I'm sorry to say after 20 months of fighting, my brother lost his battle with leukemia this morning. He put up a heck of a fight and we thought he had it beat twice, but in the end his age and secondary infections swung the odds against him. He passed peacefully this morning at home surrounded by family as he wanted.
I wanted to thank all the good folks on this forum for their support and prayers. Your encouragement has made a tough time more bearable.
Thank you so much!

Dan

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I just figured I ought to let you know as I know several of you have asked about him over the past year. John was the "other ribbon" my bike sported besides Skat's. He had a pretty rough road and I guess his age was against him on this one! The support and comaraderie of this site is like no other bike site I've found and I appreciate you all for what you bring to this place. I'll probably take a little time off to "think and drink" as someone said awhile back, but its good to know you've got good company out on the road like you all! Take care and keep the rubber side down!

Dan
