Riding the Wind.....

Damn, missed this when it was first posted.
Never met the man but was looking forward to it someday, had some good laughs throwing dOof/Gazinta jabs back and forth.
Still praying for you Tony, and for comfort to your family.

For all the rest of us, never waste a minute or an opportunity. Live every moment, as none of us know the appointed hour but the one who created us.

Prayers out to those who knew Tony, and his family.

Rest in peace Tony, God Bless.

This is a shock. I thought he was getting better.

Tony was a lesson in kindness and humbleness when I met him. A guy you love to help and be around.

See you soon Tony. Save a space for the a Doof.

Where he was when I first met him, and where he seemed to be on every ride I rode with him...watching my back. Love you brother.

Some of my best memories was Tony on my wing. Damn good rider.

I don't even know what to say. I am so gald I got the chance to talk to him by phone last weekend. He sounded so good, and the outlook was good. You just never know, I guess.

RIP Tony, smooth roads from here on out.



As we ride, he flies with us.

I never had a chance to meet him but I certain had a feel for him based upon his posts. Folks like him are what makes this group unique, and why I've gravitated here.

Rest Easy Tony. You family is in my prayers, especially as I can freshly relate to what they are going through, and what is yet to come.

I only got the chance to meet Tony a few times, the first being at ES back in 2009. I remember he and Jim being out in front of the motel when I first rode up and met all of you. I remember what a wonderful man he was, how he welcomed me and how he treated me like family. I shall miss his humor, his wit, and his warm smile. I truly loved the short time we had together. I will miss riding with him. I know I will see him again in the future. But until that time, he will always be in my thoughts.

Until we meet again, Tony. Kickstands up, my friend.

Yep, he rode on my wing on my first ever Doof ride. He got me through my first ever group ride in one piece. For that I am grateful.

A fine wing man was he.

Been thinkin' of Tony all day today. It's been a sad day, but a good day!

I never met Tony, but I felt like I knew him from his posts, as I feel about all of you.. Rip Tony. Condolances to the family.

[YankeeBob]

I wish we had met in person.
I wish I could meet you all in person someday.
RIP Goose.

Thank you for sharing that picture, Susan. I was so looking forward to seeing him again next month. Thank you for giving us all this last "visit" with him.

R.I.P. too a good friend and rider.

[Big Cheese]

I have been away and just saw this. I can't say how saddened I am by the loss of our brother Tony.
I'm thankful I was fortunate enough to meet an ride with him.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and all of our friends. We should never put off till tomorrow what we should do today.

Rest In Peace my friend.

Yep. That's exactly where he was on the Squishapalooza ride where I earned my cat herder patch. He was the one who encouraged me to take the lead for a little ways.
