RIP Vince Dee

[MTRider]

Sadly, Vince passed away at 2am this morning after a long and grueling battle with cancer. He roped me into, and I had blast, hosting WeSTOC Fortuna. He was my best riding buddy and I will miss him terribly.

Please send healing thoughts out to his wife Leann and his family.

Thanks MTrider for letting us know.
I remember I rode with both of you at Westoc in Spokane. Chased his speedy little butt down the east side of Lake Courdelene. Good rider, will be missed by many I am sure.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
RIP Vince.

So very sad to hear this - I've ridden with Vince several times, though it has been awhile - I remember some years ago he used to ride on a Yamaha Venture with his little dog sitting in a saddle bag without the lid on it. A great guy -

May he rest in peace.

RIP Vince.
My condolences go out to family and friends. Vince was a very welcoming rider for me at my first Westoc in Spokane! I was chasing both him and Todd C along the eastern shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene. Great guy, So sad!
