So I been doing this about 30 years now i think of myself as second or third generation. Last nite about 8:30 i was sleeping through the basketball game and i got a phone call regarding Paul. It was Mike Fitszsimmons we talked before the last ML shop event and I wanted him to come for Harvey’s dinner. Does not travel anymore. Wife is in a home. He is 85 had Covid was ill all year just floored by Pauls death. We talked for three hours about old times he remembered my chiuahua Airflow , Copake Mike Fallon the dinners we had there, these boys loved my girl friend Sue, his trips to California my bike museum and bbq restaurant and out to Marina with me. Motorcycles, bikes, and all the guys. Castelli, Larry Jerry Barbara Sandy Lisa and Harv that kept us all together at ML, Don and Edna , Mike Spanky Spangler, Paul Kam, JR Plank,Harry Ward, Pat Cafarro ( no K after 30 years i remember) Sam Fitzsimmons, Mark Mattei, Ed Druscus, Ed Boros, Jerry Williamson, The Hern’s bros, the Dayton Gang, Sam Dickenson, Dale V, Scott the cabe, Perrysburg and GrandcRapids ML store, Toledo the strippers, the Ann Arbor shows, our good friend Don Vaughn and most of all how much Paul was the guy that just made this our family. Stinky the van the Texas Steak House Dinners Red Roof Inn and Vaughns birthday bash for Harry. Amazing 3000 miles apart much farther than a bunch old farts could ever ride on a bike but at the end of the call we said our goodbyes how and much we loved each other. He said to me I might be the last and oldest living bike guy from our time, I be planning a trip when this is over to go see him ....... not waiting for no party in the sky
