I am sorry if some of you got this twice (or more) I combined several mailing lists to make sure that everyone gets the information.
Gary Holmes passed away yesterday in his father's home in West Memphis AR.
The visitation will be Sunday 6 pm- 8 pm at Roller Funeral Home in West Memphis AR: 201 Pine St West Memphis, AR
870-735-1000
Funeral will be Monday at 10 am at the same funeral home. The procession will leave the funeral home for the grave side service at Crittenden Memorial Park Cemetery in Marion, AR.
That procession will be about 8 miles. The family has asked that all Cyclists were their Team Kit and bring your bike. Cyclists will ride from funeral home to cemetery.
Hopefully this can be a statement about cycling safety.
In lieu of lowers, Gary's family has asked for donations to be made to the following

http://whenseanspeaks.com an organization dedicated to spreading the word about the importance of safety behind the wheel.
