I would like to again thank all the riders who participated in my brother’s escort today. Words can’t express my family’s gratitude to the folks that honored him today. John and my twin brother Todd both served our country in the Marine Corps. My brothers and I are all motorcycle enthusiasts and the tragic loss of John has weighed heavily on us. My family is eternally greatful. God bless you all.
