I met Tony about three years ago on a Harley discussion forum. We became fast friends, corresponding often, and I actually got to meet him at Kimberly's home in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. I'm so glad I made that cold 8 hour ride up there... Kimberly graciously opened up her house to me... it was a true pleasure meeting Tony and his wonderful family. I remember him standing in the street to greet me as I rode towards the house. At the time he was giving up Harleys and he had brought along a suitcase full of goodies for me. T-shirts... belts... caps... pins... a Harley comforter... you name it! I was packed to the gills on the ride home. We always talked about getting together again.. and it sounded like it was going to happen this coming summer.
I always looked forward to hearing from Tony. His warmth, and wit were always welcome and never failed to make my day.
Buckaroo... one day we'll have that ride together!
