As some members here have heard or read me talking about my brother, or the cars we had, or that he was diagnosed with terminal cancer about Christmas time. He fought a long hard fight, but he ultimately lost. My brother, Rick, passed yesterday afternoon. He was 53 years old. Donna and I were with him a while on monday, he was semi alert, but still "chuckled" with me about 'busting him out to go drinking". I couldnt have asked for a better brother. He pulled me out of many tight spots and saved my butt. From the time we were little, we always got into trouble, together. From starting smoking and drinking to stealing our Dad's cars in the middle of the night. But, we had fun. He leaves 3 sons, 25, 20, 17 and wonderful wife. He was a vietnam navy veteran. Both of us was in the military at same time stationed in Florida(me tampa, him key west). By trade, he was an avionics specialist and an accomplished photographer.
I do not mourn for his loss, I celebrate his life. He was happy and very well loved. I shall miss him.....
Below are a few pictures I would like to share with my friends here.

Bedo, Sorry to hear about your loss man. Why is it that the best people always seem to go first. When was the last time you heard of a pedophile or murder dying of cancer young? Sounds like your brother lived it to the fullest! _________________ 05 Jehm Adventure Buggy 250cc, Torque Spring, 22.5gr Rollers, Modified Roll Cage, K&N, 21x7x10 & 22x11x10 Trac Star Radials, Vapor, Body Panels, 40T Spkt

Sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and his family. Especially his three boys. It is just so sad that they have lost their father. Keep your chin up bud!

Sorry to hear it. IT sounds like me and my brother- more so when we were younger. But look on the bright side. Those three young men still have one hell of an Uncle to bring them to season! _________________ Transformed VTwin Kinroad Boxer
Sorry for your loss Bedo... I do not really know you, and I do not know your brother, but he sounded like he was there in times of need... Thoughts are with you and his family..
Sorry to read about your loss tonight. Your brother was way to young to be taken from this world. I think it is great you are celebrating his life instead of mourning, I am sure that is what he would have wanted. My condolences to you and his family. Way to many people are having their life cut short by cancer!
