old_rider .. is riding in a new place.

Posted with David's permission:
I removed the last name to protect the family's privacy.
=======================
Hello everyone, this is David, Bill's son.
It is with a heavy heart that I bring this news. This morning, at 1:55am, we lost a loving husband, a fantastic Father, and an amazing friend. I lack the words to describe what a wonderful person my Father was, and the impact he had on not only my life, but his Wife Diana and so many others. I will keep him in my thoughts, and in my heart, and it is my hope that he will remain in the hearts and minds of everyone else that he touched over the years. You will be greatly missed Bill. Thank you, and may you rest in peace.
=================
I am.. :'(

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

I am shocked! I had no idea that his diagnosis with his balance problems was potentially fatal.
He will be sorely missed........

I'm sorry and saddened to hear that news. I've been hoping for the best ever since old-rider first posted about his diagnoses.
Thank you David for letting us know. My condolences and best wishes for you and your entire family.

Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Never met him, but always appreciated his great advice here on the forum.
If anyone is coordinating sending something for the services (personally or from the group here) I'd be happy to chip in.

I was fortunate to share the road with him on a couple of ralleys and will miss him.
Bill... til we ride again.

I am very saddened. David, please accept my condolences. I first met Bill in Columbus, Texas where Bill, Art, MM and I met up to ride to Kerville where we had a great time riding the hill country and the 3 twisted sisters for a few days. I latter met up with Bill when he joined the group at the tail of the dragon for one day just so he could ride with us all. I cannot impress upon you how hard this news has hit me considering how little time I spent with Bill. I really liked Bill and had hoped to ride with him more often. Bill, you will be missed. May God have you in his Glory. As Versy said. til we ride together again my friend.

David,
Your father was a joyful rider and he did like a joke or two at camp and he laughed a lot.
I am most reminded how much love was shared between your dad and your mom on the last trip they took together to Simple Life with the group.
We are not promised endless time together, so it is good that we seize what time we do have and use it to the fullest. Your dad certainly did.
There isn't enough words to say how much he will be missed by the list and the riding group.
I will miss him .... he was a good companion and a good loving husband.

Yes, indeed, Old-Rider will be missed. We first met a few years ago when he came to the Blue Ridge Motorcycle campground to ride with some of us on the Black Line roads. We were roomies that week and I found him to be a kind, considerate and thoughtful man.
I trust he is with Jesus now, and has a completely new ride built just for him.
Until we meet and ride together again Bill.
God Bless you my friend.

I am very sorry to hear of old_rider's passing. Like many here I only knew him through his posts but I always enjoyed reading what he had to say. The forum suddenly seems a little empty without him being here.
