We've Lost A Loved One

Bicentennial bike

We've Lost A Loved One-
Sadly last week my husband Dave lost his brother. Coming from a family of five, with Dave the youngest, he was the next oldest. He passed away at home with his loved ones after a long chronic illness. Not Covid related. He survived longer than the doctors told him he would. Due to the Covid situation we were not able to go to the burial in Washington state. When things normalize more there will be a memorial we can go to. We had a Zoom "meeting" with everyone sharing their best memories of him last night. One was of his 80+ day bike trip across America back when he was young, in 1976. It was to celebrate the Bicentennial. He was a great guy, kind, quiet, very devoted to his family, worked for the Forest Service most of his life building roads and bridges. He leaves behind 2 great adult kids and his wife. We will miss him...
