    Gina,

    Deepest condolences to you and family on the loss of your father. As a “two-wheeler” myself ever since I could remember, I knew the rumble of his Harley well as he turned my head every time he passed by our house on Finefrock. His military service is greatly appreciated. Cherish the memories as he lives on in the hearts and minds of those who knew him.
