My sincere condolences to the family and friends of John Schmidlin. You will be missed “Brother”. Stand down your tour is done.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Well this MSSION turned out pretty good and the weather held off, we had all together with the family and friends of John 21 bikes.  I can tell you all that came out for John today that the family was very, very shocked and in awe in what we did, they just loved it.  I want to thank you all who came out and thank the City of Orgeon Police department for their help.  After the service I had the chance to talk to John Schmidlin Jr. he was so impressed with us that I will be talking to him later in the week about joining the PGR and some more members of the family and friends also might join.

John L. Schmidlin, it was an HONOR to stand you, Rest In Peace my brother.
