Bob Crandall, was a good, caring, honest, hard working man. A man that loved to ride as much as he loved life. We will always love and remember him....

My heart goes out to the family in this time of grief. M.y husband was in an accident with a dear about 2 yrs ago. I saw it! Thankfully he was okay.

We have lost 5 motorcyclists in a weeks time. There are many heavy hearts in our biker community. Ride on our Brother! To the jackass that wondered about the deer...that comment was totally inconsiderate and you should be slapped right in your mouth.
