Posted: 12/28/2011 10:32:40 AM EDT

He had a triple bypass this time last year and recovered quite well.
He passed away in his sleep on Christmas night. Yesterday he would
have turned 55. His wife and children are defastated.
He was the kind of guy that would do anything to help someone if they needed it
And expect nothing in return, he never met a stranger. He was a good man.

He is survived by 3 brothers his wife, 3 children, and 7 grand kids.
I'm really Going to miss him, he was my riding buddy, he will truly be missed
by all.

Thank you for that, I will print that for his wife and son who will be
taking his bike. I just back from the service a little bit ago
he is being cremated and I and another brother are going
to take a little part of him for his last ride and let him be taken
about with the wind. Thanks to all, you would have liked him, he never
met a stranger.

Sorry for your loss. 55 is young but it sounds like he lived a full and productive life, surrounded by love.

Godspeed.

Christmas night? Jeez, that's rough.

Thanks to you all again, this will mean a lot to his wife, his children and grand kids and to his other 2 brothers. thank you all. He was a good man with a heart of gold, he would do anything to help someone in need and as I said before, you all would have liked him, if he was an Arfcomer, he would have been a true Arfcomer. For his birthday 12/27

......although he wasn't .mil, for him....because he respected the military and what they have given,

We will all really miss him.

It is so hard to fight back the tears while I type this.

Something that touched me so deep is we are Scotts Irish, a bag pipe player played Amazing Grace, he came marching in from the back, up to the casket, turned around and marched out, all the while playing, and off into the distance fading out, it was PERFECT and it brought a tear to my eye, again it was PERFECT!!!

Very Sorry Bro.
Swear I met Him somewhere before.

You very well may have. He was in construction all of his life, to hear him tell it, he helped build half of Dallas, LOL
He did do a lot of work on the high rise buildings though. I'm really gonna miss that old fucker.

ETA. He knew a lot of people, he was a big jock at Nimitz High in Irving TX, he still holds records there, his grandkids go there too and see their papa in the throphy case. Imagine how proud they are?!?
