Cle's Funeral


It was today. Very disturbing. Emotional day. Only 62 years old. He was a very special friend. Always upbeat, with a positive attitude even when in pain. Everyone liked him especially women. A charmer, his sister said he never knew a stranger, everyone was his friend.

He drove by several times a week. Golfed Wednesday, rode Thursday with us. Was 1 month from retirement. Was going to ride with us Saturdays as soon as he retired. Had a girlfriend, KIM. She is very nice, met her today for the first time, probably the last.

Had to go work in the garage to try and try not think of him. We miss him. Work on Mark's bike trying to reduce his gas consumption still. Then his battery gave out, needs a new one. So I could not road test it.

Worked on my Yamaha Venture. Got the water pump repair kit in. Took the pump off the bike. Then found out the kit was wrong.

Came in, ate dinner, took a shower and had to admit it was "not a good day".
That's Cle's jacket. And him in it, last Dec, too cold for him to ride that day.
