Default RIP rimfired

Long time forum member “rimfired” passed away suddenly on the evening of July 3.
“Steelbreeze”, loved his Sportster, and was so proud of his son’s rugby and life accomplishments. He leaves behind his wife Deb and his son Tyler.

Also a combat infantry Vietnam Nam veteran.

Randy was just short of his 70th birthday.
RIP brother.

Rest In Peace my friend.
Randy was a close friend of mine and a group of forum members we dubbed the “Aristocrats”.
Though many of us Aristocrats strayed from the forum over the years, we still stayed in contact darn near daily.
Randy suffered from the effects from the war including exposure to Agent Orange, and acute arthritis in his back.
We always supported Randy, many times just to talk when he was down.
You will always be remembered as a true friend. Peace Brother.
