What a phenomenal man! He is an inspiration for all of us, especially those that have been dealt an unfortunate and unforeseen difficulty in life by portraying grace, dignity and perseverance to keep living life as fully as possible and never giving up.

To my good friend and bicycling buddy: May you find peace in the arms of our Lord. May you find contentment in that big cycling trail in the sky. You will be missed my friend.
