Here is the post from AZ Beemers. There will also be a wake at Brian Boles afterward. Brian probably sent more time riding with Don than anyone else over the years and everyone is invited.

Everyone, the date and time for Don's services has been finalized.

The services will be Saturday January 16th at 10:30 AM. Services will be held at

Valley of the Sun Mortuary
10940 E. Chandler Heights Rd.
Chandler, AZ 85248

Here is the memorial page.

As previously stated, a wake will be held at our house immediately afterwards.

Dang! I'm burying my Dad the same day so I won't be able to attend. I'm with DC, glad this Christmas is over......

I had some memorial stickers made up and they should arrive on Wednesday. I would be happy to share them at no cost with as many people as would like them, one per person, until they're gone. I've probably got 90 to share. I will pay for the stickers and the postage, and I will not keep your address after I've sent the sticker. I am not in the business of any commerce, and do not have any interest in keeping a mailing list for any purpose.

So ... if you would like one, and if by the time you ask, I still have any, I will send you one. PM me with your address.

The stickers are 3" tall by 4.5" wide ovals, supposedly waterproof. The field is white. There is a blue border oval nearly at the edge. At the top it reads RIP BeemerDonS in small bold type. In the middle it reads JSNS in large bold type. At the bottom it reads 1948 - 2015.

I am going to stick one on the bottom of the extended license plate holder and take Don along with me on future rides.

I copied this from the AZBeemers administrator Brian Boles. Although Don has more friends than be counted, few knew him as well as Brian.

Thanks for posting the details from Brian. I've taken the liberty of adding this to the thread I'd started over on the K1600Forum.

I've still got some stickers that have not been claimed yet (see my post just before Big-D's). If you want one, PM me with your address.

FYI....on the memorial page link above, is where you can leave a personal message. After you submit your message, there will be a link to purchase flowers through FTD florists. They make it easier by having Don's name and funeral home already filled in for you. They have a variety of arrangements and pricing to fit most everyone.

Just thought I would pass it on.

I'm planning on arriving on Friday evening and returning home on Sunday evening. Yes, Barb and I will be sharing a room and we know Don with give a hearty, HUBBA HUBBA & HUBBA!

EDIT: Looking for a closer place to the wake instead of the memorial service.

UPDATE: Best Western Apache Junction.

If you don't have one you should be ashamed. It is going to be an Irish wake after all! I can tell you I was hurting on the 26th. I bought a bottle of Jameson in his honor and drank the whole thing! I didn't fall down either!

 

[user 6393]

damn, Intech, I have liked too many posts today. WTF is up with that crap?

I call BS that you didn't fall down, or over, or at least stub a toe

His memory might not "be all that it can be" with the liquid impairment going on.

He's just lucky he doesn't have a magic marker picture on his face.

Flying... not enough time for riding this time around.

My memory is fine. You can ask Spanky. I didn't drink the whole bottle myself. My son helped me. A little.

FYI, hotel updated to be closer to the wake location.

[gixxerjasen]

Well shit. You go away for vacation and look what you find when you return. Not good news.

He wasn't they guy he presented here.

I'll admit to not exactly being a fan of him here, but always got the impression that what HRZ said was true and looked forward to meeting him in person to find out who he really was. Now it won't happen. That said, when I stumbled upon this I started looking at maps and calendars on how to get out there to assist with a proper sendoff. Sadly the calendar says I drew the short straw that weekend and will be suffering on call for work. I'll be there in spirit though and you guys please send him off right.
