We can have T-shirts made with his pic
Ride the Littel Rubicon

Please add your input ;-)

lets do it baby

Cool Cisco this sounds like a good idea, MY dad is going to get the plaque done by a client who owns a machine shop and he has a great idea about the plague. I would like to locate the plaque some where on the little Rubicon trail. And when we do this ride does not matter to me as long as its not in the next 4 weeks due to the baby and the due date because I would like to do this ride. I love the T-Shirt Idea. Onerich has also sent me some RIP stickers that I need to get to some folks.

 

[ageekwithajeep]

how about as a last little rubicon ride of the season? before it gets to hot out there

 

[dkiewicz]

Did John have a favorite holiday? Maybe we can theme it from his likes. Becky or Bill might be able to help...

hell ! John was one of the lucky ones, he own his company so he had all the free time in the world according to him. you say ride before you could finish your sentence, he was sitting in his truck, trailor loaded saying were.so there fore no special day. he hated being hot. becky is moving back east with her daugther some time in july.

I want to be able to do a memmorial ride too, so let me know if Easter is the ride....Thank you Also, please let me know if I can help contribute to the plaque....or something else......I got my sticker, which is cool. Thanks Rich!!

I think the ashes should be placed at the spot of the rollover because every time people ride through that spot everybody will know those were his last breaths.I had 4 buddies die in a car accident prom night in high school and we still go back to that very spot to remember and pay our dues also in case his family wants to stop by the spot it will be accesible and not in the middle of a canyon just my 2 cents

 

[Dudeonit]

John will always ride with me. Thanks Raul, Rich!!

 

[ageekwithajeep]

i think tranny is right, but we shouldn't put all of his ashes there but we should put a bit of them. maybe 50/50 there and on the rubicon?

 

[ageekwithajeep]

I for one don't want to remember him where it happened, but where he was the happiest! I am not much for road side moralization of the accident over the person Just my 2 cents I is a persons life that counts not their death location! I want his memory to put a smile on peoples faces

you do have a point. But also what tranny said about going to the site. how is the family going to get up in the rubicon canyon to remember him i mean its going to be hard enough to get out the the desert then they gotta get way and the heck back in the canyon?

What im saying is we should do both. Some where he was most happy and some where it happened

 

[ageekwithajeep]

yup i love that pic and the one that you took to the funeral blown up big. Both show his happiness

No matter where you put his ashes,plaque,stickers memories live in the heart.It was just my opinion I am for a road side mural but thats just me I am sure anywhere you guys put tha ashes will be great.Im sure John had a smile in the rubicon,miller canyon and anywhere else he went offroad I just thought it would be easier for family and friends to access where it happened.

 

[Transformer33]

Thats true PB wherever they go will be great

 

[ROTAX]

Raul, I forgot to say "Thank You" also for the great stickers. Thanks Dudeonit for reminding me, hope to see you all out on the trails again

Here's a couple of other monmuents we've been to. Usually in hard to get to places overlooking the dez where they are less likely to be disturbed.

My .02 on this.

The place where the accident happened has a lot of traffic and I would be concerned about vandalism.

Little Rubicon is in a canyon that floods. What's the possibility of damage from water?

Perhaps a nice out of the way overlook somewhere would be cool ?

I CAN'T DOWNLOAD MY PIX, BUT FUD AN OFFROAD PROMOTOR & MY FRIEND JAMES 'HOLLYWOOD" SAASTA HAVE A MONUMENT BESIDE EACH OTHER ON PESKY'S PERCH OVERLOOKING DESERT RACE TRACKS IN THE PLASTER CITY AREA. FUD'S ASHES WERE MIXED WITH THE CONCRETE FOUNDATION FOR THE MONUMENT. I BELIEVE A MONUMENT OVERLOOKING THE LITTLE RUBICON WOULD BE NICE. ACTUALLY I LIKE THE ARCH WHERE WE HAD LUNCH.

 

[onerich]

I had just found thread a lot of great ideas , tell please if I can help.

 

[onerich]

It will be SS with Lazar etching and epoxied to the rock up high and should last a LONG time, it will be there after I am gone

That's sounds nice , is there a date?Is there any help needed with $$$?

 

[grumpysrzr4]
