Uncle B's Funeral Details

[Bend-it]

Yeah, and his mum, Margaret too... Attending your son's funeral just isn't right man...

Im sure Bruce would have had a huge smile on his face seeing all those bikes file past.

Not to mention the sound, when you get a group of bike together like that it is just amazing.

Thank you BuckBuckNo1 for speaking.

It was a beautiful service. Well done to all who spoke, including Debbie, Margaret and Pete, I can't possibly know how hard that would have been for you.

Guy, good on you for getting up there. I couldn't have done that.

Debbie, sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you.

I was truly proud to be part of such a tribute to such a great man.

Bruce, I'm going to get out there and practice everything you have taught us. I want to make you proud

It was an awesome tribute to Uncle B. I was lucky to be able to be pillioned around for the day.. Thanks Skel The ride from the duck pond to the funeral service I will never forget, I got a lump in my throat as I watched the many bikers infront and behind us, heading in a straight line towards Queensgate, I think Uncle B would have been so happy.

Wish I had gotten to talk to u Debbie, and you and Bruce will forever be in our thoughts, and if you ever need anything, please ask. I am lucky enough to have a few pm's from Uncle B, with his words of advice, which I will keep forever and look back on, and will make me become a better rider.

It was awesome speech you gave Debbie... truely wonderful.

The group hug at the cemetary was just right.. I am glad you thought of it buckbuck. I have some photos from the duck pond and the cemetary just after the group hug, but not quite sure how to down load them yet...

It was truly an unforgetable experience to be part of such a great send off. My sincerest condolences to Debbie and the rest of Bruce's family. Pete and Buck Buck your words and memories were great.

Truly Ethereal.

An honest man here lies at rest
As e'er God with his image blest;
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so informed:
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.
