I thank the Rolon family for inviting PGR to the services of Sgt Carmelo Rolon. He is in the arms of the Lord and may His Grace give peace to the family and friends in this time of passing. Thank you Carmelo for your service.
I met and shook hands with some of his family and I appreciate their thoughts and again thank them for asking us to be at his service.
One of the family members is a PGR State Captain sharing a partial state responsibility, and I forget the state, sorry, I think it is Ohio.
There was an escort service with two bikes, Glen and Bob and they did a great job.
The second arrival, Don B from Saratoga with his Harley just to his right...
More bikes arrive...
The rear bike is Ken's from Napa, a beautiful Suzuki and the paint is gorgeous!!! Deacon and Ken are talking.
All six bikes lined up for the escort. Don B from Saratoga, Walt from Modesto, Deacon from Sacto, Mickey from Rocklin and Ken from Napa, of course Cranky for south San Jose, I get the long rider tag at 85 miles.
The escort was interesting as there were many vehicles and two professional escorts, so the procession had to move slowly. It went off very smooth, they did a great job.
I thank Don B for his GPS and keeping me from getting lost, the plans changed and my pre-printed maps were not good.
The front bike in this pic is Deacon's, a real chopper, the motor is a '46 with a suicide clutch, kick start and a bikers bike!This is after the service and we're headed to our bikes to try to make a quiet exit.
For six bikes to show up at a service that was not known less than a day ago is great! I want to thank the riders that came from distances.... thank YOU for YOUR service!!!
