His last name was Chapman and he went by Chappy. His widow, when he had JUST passed, a few seconds before, says "wait! Chappy wants to ride his bike one more time!", ran out, got on the bike, laid across the tank and revved the throttle for him. <BR/><BR/>You're the best!!! <BR/>DAThe Rogue Kitchen Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837268671847075409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-79133415181928051642008-04-21T20:22:00.000-04:002008-04-21T20:22:00.000-04:00ChandraCazzieTerry MonaBuffJennLimeyLisaMissy Jill...Chandra<BR/>Cazzie<BR/>Terry <BR/>Mona<BR/>Buff<BR/>Jenn<BR/>Limey<BR/>Lisa<BR/>Missy <BR/>Jillie<BR/>Pearl<BR/>VE<BR/>Sherryx<BR/>Thank you one and all for your kind words, love,and friendship...You all ROCK!<BR/>I'm really tired tonight as I had an extremely busy day...And to boot, My son needs the PC to write a 20 page paper...I may NOT return tonight, so....Later!!<BR/>GalenG-Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14968807697181554781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-66300273023195284962008-04-21T18:06:00.000-04:002008-04-21T18:06:00.000-04:00Y'all did Ned proud -- and you know he was there i...Y'all did Ned proud -- and you know he was there in spirit.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798532682456165053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-3446442404596897752008-04-21T16:53:00.000-04:002008-04-21T16:53:00.000-04:00Cool.

Your memorial service reminds me so much of the one I held for my husband, Bernard. He LOVED his bike - he loved Harley Davidson. I understood that HD has a corner on the market on their trademark name, but upon his death, I asked the funeral home director if he would allow My Hustand to take the HD emblem, and put it on the gravestone next to my husband's name. He was most understanding, and my husband would be so happy to see his own gravestone bearing the HD emblem next to his name f'n trade mark and all. Not much I was able to do for him at that point - but I know he would be happy to see it on his gravestone forever. <BR/><BR/>Your post was great. Not much I can add - I know about biker funerals - as I feel my husband had one ever so similar to your friend Ned. Harley Owners just deserve the best. xotsduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457805824149563737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-28060402959353411182008-04-20T22:41:00.000-04:002008-04-20T22:41:00.000-04:00Oh wow, you could not want for a better send off t...Oh wow, you could not want for a better send off than that, a celebration of the life and love of a friend...absolutely touching stuff Galen..huggs xxxxCazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819635251895015897.post-1725203917475188892008-04-20T22:23:00.000-04:002008-04-20T22:23:00.000-04:00Well, you can now count my eyes as being no longer...Well, you can now count my eyes as being no longer dry as well.<BR/><BR/>What a beautifully written post, Galen.<BR/><BR/>Most seriously.<BR/><BR/>I felt like I could hear the thundering bikely bellows with my own ears all the way here in Chi-town.<BR/><BR/>You rock.<BR/><BR/>And what an excellent friend you are.<BR/><BR/>To so very many.<BR/><BR/>Ned's bike is pretty freaking snazzy, man.<BR/><BR/>Gorgeously hot.<BR/><BR/>xoxo, GaylandCha Chahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432352436492000057noreply@blogger.com
