(American Bikers Aimed Toward Education) of Orange County. In his 18 years as a member, he served on the board as President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.
He was also a member of the Wingmen Motorcycle Club - Orange County Chapter.

Smith, Seaman & Quackenbush, Inc. Funeral Home, 117 Maple Ave., Monroe, N.Y.
Directions to Funeral Home:
From NYS Thruway and NY 17 (Quickway)

"We live, we die, and like the grass and trees, renew ourselves from the soft clods of the grave. Stones crumble and decay, faiths grow old and they are forgotten but new beliefs are born. The faith of the villages is dust now...but it will grow again....like the trees. May serenity circle on silent wings and catch the whisper of the winds." Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce
And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.

Rest in peace "Dozer," and may your family and friends find comfort in that peace.
Thank you for your service to this country.
Your bravery will never be forgotten.
Will be there, if I can get approval for the time off from work.

| Thank you John, for serving your country. Like so many of your era, you did not get the respect and thanks at the time you served, but we are grateful for what you did, and my PGR brothers will show you that. Sorry, I can not make this mission on short notice, Rest In Peace, my condolences to your family and friends. |

My condolences to the family he left behind and a prayer for the safe repose of his soul into the hands of our Lord.
I wish I could have been there. Even though I live in Florida, I grew up in Orange County and spend a lot of time in Monroe with friends. OC, NY will always be home for me because that is where my heart is. |
