The service was very nice. The family tradition was to walk behind the hearse, and in this case it was up a very steep hill. A couple grounds keepers were using their small utility vehicles to ferry folks up the hill.
There were hundreds in attendance, I'd guess 250+. The weather was kind to all a breeze and a little warm, a very nice day. They played some tunes one of them was "Proud to be an American".
We had 6 bikes and 7 PGR members, Ken from Napa, Don B from Saratoga, Glenn B from Los Gatos, Brodie from Milpitas, Rick from Santa Rosa, Craig R. from Livermore, and myself from San Jose. Ken and Rick were the long riders.
There was a pool and a water fall that was pretty and peaceful.
The day was great! The funeral site was at the top of a steep hill and the view was outstanding, the setting very nice. Looking out over San Jose.....
Roberto was laid to rest under an Oak tree at the top of the hill, very nice setting. The Honor Guard Rifle team lined up by the sidewalk waiting for the hearse.
After the service I took a picture of the bikes that attended.
