So sorry for his family that they lost their loving CHPY. A brother wearing our beloved Blue & Gold is always with us. To Pattie: May God bless you and your family. I know exactly how much your husband loved his time riding motors. Some always want to be CHPYS but only a few will ever have that honor. Rest In Peace and you are remembered and will always be in our hearts and minds.
