Chandler AZ, 01-16-16, BeemerDon's Service

[dcarver]

Wondering what possibilities are of making a 3 day run to Chandler for Don's service 12-31-15 1/16/16.

Right at 600 miles for me.

Anyone one else tentatively planning to ride out? Does the change of date provide windows of opportunity?

Would like to be there but weather and funds don't allow. Hope there is a big turnout, He deserves it.

Wish I could make the trip DC, work and on-call this week equals a no-go...Echoing Ray, hope there's a big turnout.

I am sure it will be a HUGE event. He was well loved, with good reason

So far I've only seen it on Facebook... check his page.

I can't be there 12/31... maybe we can schedule a NorCal gathering in the New Year and raise a toast in his honor... maybe even coordinate all over the US??

I'll clarify that I'm going to fly.... not ride.

We will certainly have a toast in his honor at the Death Valley ride in February.

I plan on going for a ride Thursday at 10:00 a.m. (noon EST, to honor Don) and then toasting him for the rest of the day.

 

[El Toro]

I am out of likes today, but I like El Toro Joe's idea, and have been planning to do the same myself.

 

[GalaxyBlue]

If anyone is flying into Phoenix 12/31 and needs a ride, Let me know. I'll be able to pick them up.

You KNOW we'll be raising a glass/mug of whatever drink to Don.

Per Dan Compton's post in the RIP thread, the service date is not final yet. See his post here. Stay tuned.

 

[Uncle Hud]

Echo of several above posts: will ride here for an hour during the funeral service -- when it is scheduled.

I only knew Don through the forum but being Irish-American as he proudly was, an Irish Wake should be in order.

 

[bgross]

Though I wish to attend, I'm tied up until after New Years.

If the service is on 12/31, I'll take (another) ride in his honor here near home.

Hey Don, whenever the service will be, I may be looking to ride with you to attend. At the moment it may be on the 16th of January - Saturday.
