Alan Gene Gelvin

I remember many years of partying between the Seattle Cossacks and the Washington 99ers MC at our annual Labor Day Campouts. Good time were always had by all.
Big Al will be missed by the motorycyling community as a whole.
As a former Washington 99er and a current Rat City Abate member. My family and I send our condolences to the Gelvin family,

With heavy heart,
Teresa "T" Vineyard

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I didn't know Al but have enjoyed the Cossacks show many times.
Ride on brother!

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me...

Hold on to his memory and let time heal your hearts. Al will be greatly missed. Our prayers go out to his family and to all those who knew Al as a friend.

Over the years of fun and shows that the team has so freely given to the community, Al's infinite smile and loving personality helped me to enjoy my life just that much more. THANKS for all the spirit that was put into being here for us and so many others. Al, our memories of you will continue and enrich my life further. Our deepest sympathy to the Family and the Team. May our memories be of the joys that were placed in our hearts. From the Team at Downtown Harley-Davidson

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

As a fellow rider it always saddens me to hear of accicendents such as Al G's my prayers are with you, the family and the Cossacks whom I've watched many times...God bless you all and Al G.

I did not know Al, but had seen him perform with the Seattle Cossacks on several occassions. I want to send my heartfelt sympathy to Al's family and the Seattle Cossacks on behalf of myself and the Silent Servic(Submarine Veterans) Motorcycle Club.

We are going to miss Al G. greatly and wish to extend love and sympathy to Patrice and the entire family. We also know this has greatly affected the entire Cossack team and we are very sorry.
