Dinkie,
Great write up, photos and tribute to Bob. Della and I were some of the fortunate ones who were able to ride and hang out with Bob on numerous occasions over the past few years. It was always a treat and always special to be in his company. I think that he was the most honorable man that I've ever met. I am a better man for learning from him and spending time with him. He will never be forgotten in our household.

Thanks everyone for posting pics for those of us who didn't take any. Landed home 5-8-15 after 19 days and just shy of 9000 miles. Had a blast looking at America

I can't thank you enough for the photos and the simply amazing video of the ceremony, Jeff.
The video brought tears to my eyes again and most likely will when everr I watch it.
Wonderful, Jeff. We all miss him and loved him so much.

Did anyone pick up 2 stainless steel Jaegermeister shot glasses from this event? I know that I forgot them on the picnic table at the event in Florida.

As many of you know, Bob's ashes were scattered at a beautiful beach at Cape San Blas, Florida. It was a place with special meaning to Bob because that's where he scattered his late wife's ashes when she passed six years earlier. Since it is a state park, we can not leave a marking of any kind. Instead, we would like to commemorate Bob with a permanent marking at the Veteran's Memorial Park in Apalachicola, Florida where we honored his heroic military career. For this cause, I am soliciting donations for an engraved brick to be placed at the base of the American Flag in front of the "Three Soldiers Detail" in this beautiful Veterans park. Any and all donations exceeding the cost of the brick will be donated to the park to keep it in operation.
Once the brick has been placed, I will travel there and take a picture of it, mark the spot with Latitude and Longitude, post it so any member can travel to that spot and pay respect and remember our friend and fellow member.

Please send donations in cash or check to:

Tom Vincent, 95 Porter Springs Drive, Dahlonega, Ga 30533

After 30 days, I will post a summary of funds donated and at that time will order the marker.

Thanks to all in advance.

Thanks...John

I have a paypal account, but don't know how to use it other than pay for things I order.. so to keep it simple, please send a check or cash. Thanks

10-4 Vinny, making it out now. Thanks again for all you've done for Bob.

 

[vinny]

Have 40% of the cost, thanks to some generous folks. Still need some contributions to make this happen for our departed friend and former member of the year. Thanks in advance if your donation is in the mail!
