Speedy,
I knew when we first met we had a bond that wouldn't be broken. I'll forever cherish our time together working on bikes and cars in the shop on 25th ave. You taught me so much about motorcycles, old cars, and how to be a loyal brother. It hurts my heart knowing I won't get to see you again, but I know you put up a hell of a fight and are up in heaven watching down over all your friends and family. I love you brother.

Hey Speedy,
Funny how I had so much to say and suddenly I'm at a loss for words. I'll miss you buddy, and I'll miss our talks. I'll be cooking for the Mutts run for as long as I am able to like I said. Since you are leading the way as usual save a ride for me when we meet again. RIP Brother

I wasn't ready for you to be one of our angels to watch over us. Who ever could? You were the missing piece to our family. Neither Mark nor I had dads alive to be grandfathers for our children. Lots of aunts and uncles, but you were Poppa Speedy to our little ones, and Pops to us. The bond beteeen you and Jr. will live on. From changing his diapers to watching him try to ride his bicycle without training wheels, you watched him grow. We know you'll be watching him learn to ride that beautiful mini bike you created for him. This time, from above. We love you Speedy. So many people love you. What an immense hole you are leaving in our hearts. I know you're tearing up those golden roads. Ride forever, pain free, with all the family waiting for you.
