Ron & I were saddened to hear the news about David. We got to know David and Dorcas over the past few years at the LaCrosse rally and really enjoyed riding and talking with the both of them. David had such a fun sense of humor. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dorcas and the family.

God Bless David & Dorcas. Gary & I were with them riding on sunday. We had the most perfect of riding days, blue skys, beautiful scenery & great company. It's totally amazing how in the blink of an eye, God can take someone you care about. He was doin what he loved, totally!!!, & the doctor assured us that he did not suffer. David is in Heaven now, doin burnouts forever, but it is us, the one's who loved him that are doing the suffering, feeling the loss of a great & unforgettable man. You will be truely missed David & your memory will live on forever. Ride on!!!!

A quiet man, with a quiet smile, we'll miss you.

Was Dorcas riding on the bike with him or does she have her own bike ? Apparently not or someone would have mentioned it .

Jack

Dorcas was on her own bike that evening. I just got done talking to her & she is doing well considering.

Sue here, Stretch's other half...we are so saddened to hear this awful news...prayers to Dorcas and all family and friends hurting now. We had the pleasure of meeting him this year in LaCrosse and had a few excellent breakfasts with him @ Fayze's. A good man he was to get up so early to breakfast with us simply because Dorcas wanted him to. A good man for sure.



Hoping the above breakfast pic actually comes out, as we haven't done this much.

Our hearts go out to you Dorcas. We feel privileged to have met you both and ridden with you both during LaCrosse.

Sue & Stretch
