My Sister and I have
been looking for a contact to the PGR
for a while. We want to greatly thank
the group for coming to my Dad's
services at the Western Reserve
Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio, in August
2006 (Curtis Roy Frost). I'm sure my
Dad was smiling looking down on us.
As a member (and former officer) of
ABATE of Ohio, AMA, MRF, and formally
Rolling Thunder member a few brothers
and sisters showed up at his viewing.
Only one brother showed up on his
bike and patched vest, I thanked him
for coming as himself. My Dad found
the Lord and loved everyone, but he
always loved and trusted bikers more,
because most are upfront and real,
giving, honest people.
He was a
formally a rider and a member of
ABATE of Ohio, even while living in
NC and GA. Until I retired office and
no longer wrote my articles in the
State Rag. He no longer owed a bike
but was shopping around for one until
his stroke in GA, before we moved him
back home to Ohio. At his viewing
they displayed pictures, my cousins
(that don't ride) and a crazy sister
of his, commented on their dislike of
one of the photos we submitted. It
was him younger in a leather and
biker garb.
I second
thought my plans for you guys to
attend, then decided this is about
what we want and Dad would want it
that way. It turned out great, even
the biggest prudes in his family
commented on how nice it was to have
you guys there. The same cousins I
mentioned, said Roy always did love
motorcycles, I'm glad you arranged
that Kevin. In fact, I didn't set it
up someone from ABATE of Ohio
contacted you for me, I just provided
the details, time, and basic
iinformation. I'm sorry I did not get
to talk to the group more, I needed a
restroom break after services and you
guys were leaving. I do recall the
Lady that delivers my mail in my
small town of Rootstown was there,
along with an ABATE of Ohio member,
and a guy who rode from WV having
mechanical issues with his ride.
I just want
to give a big thanks to the PGR for
everything you did for us and all you
stand for. My Dad's memorial patches
are available at http://abate.com/ohio/regionzero/lost.html click the link beside
his photo. You can also see photos at
http://www.mem.com/ search last name FROST
the look for Curtis.
I will leave
you with what I put on my Dad's
patch, I got it from his Zippo
lighter from Vietnam, one side had
the 101 Airborne logo and the text
was simply F#@k it! I knew he did
that thinking he would never come
home, so left it off. On the patch I
put a revised version of what was
engraved on the back. I'm sure I went
to Heaven because I've spent my time
in Hell. That is surely true. In
Vietnam, and in his life back here.
Thanks again to the PGR,
Kevin Frost (Son) & Tammy Frost
(Daughter)
