I think about John frequently. I met him face to face twice, both times at Dwight's. We spoke on the phone frequently...business and just to talk. I was looking forward to seeing him at the Georgia Rally that he attended, but like most my best intentions, that fell through as could not get time off from my other job.
John was a good soul, honest and what you saw is what you got, he was just a good man. Because of facebook and his page I still see him most every day that I login, just because his face in my friends list is at the top!
He was special as are a number of you to me, the folks I have met in my travels and those whom I have corresponded with. I have been privileged to meet so many of you and deal with so many of you on a business level, you were the reason I went into business, you were the reason I found a new passion.
Life changes, in good an bad ways. The folks here a source of enjoyment in my life. My greatest enjoyment has been the times I have been on the road and getting to meet you all face to face, some I have ridden many miles with. You all have felt like my family in a very real sense. Twisted and pathetic as that may seem, it be true.
Chy, thank you for the post, thank you because it made me realize that it isn't just me, the boy touched our hearts and is missed.
There are a few others that I think about too. Big Jack, Dereck, Don... I still see their faces and was glad I had the opportunity to meet them face to face.
