| Just to let you know that my childhood friend has past away after a short illness, he was a regular on the Forum and known as "Foxy", I bought his black Silverwing off him last year as his wife did not get on with being a passenger on it and preffered the 3 Goldwings he had. He will be sorely missed by us all in our Band and will be a vacant slot in our ride-outs from now on. I salute you old friend & Vet. "Fair winds, calm sea's. Stand easy shipmate, your watch is done. RIP Pete |

| Sorry to hear the bad news Pete. That isn't the same fellow that used to be on the Steve Saunders Goldwing site, he went by the same handle and had a riding mate who he called Helen the Viking is it?

| Paul Thank you, yes it was the very same man indeed. I spoke to Helen today and she has said that so many riders will be attending Pete's funeral. |

| I'll miss Foxy too. We both spent time on the Steve Saunders Goldwing forum. We had a Saunder's Goldwing Forum rally in Calhoun Georgia around 2008 where he and Helen attended. There was a auction for a set of Goldwing rider's pegs that he and I battled over that I beat him on. I told him I had 1700 miles to ride home and needed them more than he did. When I got home I shipped them to him as a gift. We used to correspond a good bit back then.
Your news is shocking and unexpected, I'll really miss Foxy too.
Could you send me a contact address on the web so I could send my condolences to Helen? a private message here would be excellent. |

| Hi Paul That is amazing, he certainly knew a lot of people, I will send you Helens phone number in a PM. He's now making them smile up there |

| So so sorry for such a loss. ~ Sounds like Pete was a great guy, a good friend, and well respected.
Those are always the hardest. . .
