Tom,

Thanks for getting the word out... He was a very good person, rider, friend, and brother... Sad day for all of us... Most of us have known this day was approaching, but it's still a tough pill to swallow... Thanks again for posting... and for always being a good friend to my good friend!

I remember him riding a gray F6B on one Colorado trip, and showing off off his Polaris Slingshot reverse trike contraption in the Country Cabin parking lot in Montrose on another trip.  I didn't get to know JP well but he sure was a hoot!

I knew he'd been suffering.  He suffers no more.   angel

A real bummer to hear.  Godspeed to Hard6.     Prayers to his family.

I haven't seen him for a number of years but we had some good rides together  at InZane VII in and around Johnson City, TN.

Good memories.
