Olivia loved her grandpa, although much too young to understand - I know she did. She loves everyone so there’s no doubt.
He was the love of my life and best friend. I'm struggling to grasp this loss 😢
This my first ride with Steve, Cory and Dan, I remember as Dan, Cory and I ripped through traffic Steve just kinda hung back and caught up with us when the traffic was light it wasn't about how fast or where we went but about enjoying the time together

When Chuck Steve and I rode over two mountain passes to get a hamburger riding over freshly traveled Mt. Pass roads. And back over in the dark.he was an arnrewy guy sometimes be he grew on you. He is missed.
I remember I had given up on my father, when he went away to prison. I wrote him when I was 13, and I told him I never wanted to see him again. He responded by giving me space, and he reached out again in my mid twenties. I had matured enough by then to let past wrongs go, and embrace what could grow now in the future. I met my father again, and we bonded over good food shared in nice places, over games of pool, visits to parks or to Mount Rainier, and long (sometimes contentious) conversations. I learned about his past, and how his regrets formed him into the man he had become later in life. I will always miss my father, and thank him for what he gave me: The trials and tribulations, and the gifts of his company and his love, both. Life is a rich tapestry of rough times and golden ones, and no man embodied the spirit of chasing after living life to its fullest than my father.
Rest in peace, Dad.
