I want to thank everyone who posted their kind thoughts and condolences on this website with regard to Roger's passing. He had MANY friends, as was evidenced by the 550 people who came to the funeral home for his services. We had a procession of over 50 motorcycles that escorted him home for the last time. What a sight! In lieu of flowers, I had asked for donations to a local non-profit charity - the Holly Heilman Cancer Fund. We rode in their poker runs over the last few years to raise money for them, and were also the recipients of gift cards from the Fund when we found out about Roger's cancer last year. Just recently, I was updated on the total of donations made to this Fund in Roger's name - $4,350 so far. That's amazing ...
For many years, I was content to ride behind Roger on his bikes. I don't want to miss out on the wonderful times that we had with our local HOG chapter, so I've gotten a motorcycle permit (yep, at 51 years old) and will be taking the PA Rider's Course in 2 weeks. Wish me luck!
