Bill's wife, Beth, does not want to have a big service because of Corona/COVID. What we're thinking instead is a drive-by MC parade at his house in Phoenix. Each MC in the procession would drop a flower in the yard, that she can use to make into a huge bouquet for his funeral.
Sucks having to do it this way instead of an escort. But, since Bill, Beth, and both his parents have had COVID, they have a deep concern for it.
We're tentatively planning March 6, but she doesn't know yet when he will be sent from TX to Phx.
If you have a desire to participate, hold that date for now, and I'll keep you updated if that changes.

I'm in. I won't be able to ride, due to surgery on 3/1, but I'll find a way to be there.

I’d be down for this also. Bill’s wife sounds like a downright smart lady. Sounds like an excellent way to do it. Thanks for the updates Connie.  |

Damn, George. Haven’t you run out of operating parts yet ? Hope all is well. |

I don't know if I'll be riding either. I had foot surgery. I get the sutures out on 3/2, but shifting is questionable. I have to discuss with surgeon at 3/2 appt. I should know better than to ask, but I'll defer to his opinion.  |

Update! The family is requesting the drive by on 3/6 at 1300. This will be during their family's Celebration of Life.
If y'all are interested in a lunch get-together before or after, just make a suggestion in the area of AZ 101 and AZ 51.
If there's no interest in lunch, we can meet at the Harkin's theater parking lot at 3420 E Bell Rd.

I’d be interested in lunch about 11:30 and then ride by around 1 as was requested. I don’t know the Bell rd restaurants so let’s form up a plan and do it.

Update:
1150: Lunch: Brennan's 3510 E Bell Rd, Phx.
1300: Meet for Drive-by: Harkin's Theatre 3420 E Bell Rd, Phx.
I would have everyone meet at Brennan's, but I have no idea how many will show up, so Harkin's is a safer choice.

Connie; I have some stuff going on Sat which I can’t put off. I doubt that I will make lunch or the drive by. So sorry. Sandy |
