We even had a motorcycle procession go by at the beginning if the service (Sharon couldn't have planned that, it just happened for another funeral).

Appropriate, even if not planned. I think he would have gotten a kick out of that. You will be missed, AU, and as for me, a KitKat bar will taste just a little different, should I ever be tempted to pick one up now. ---------- view our albums at ]http://community.webshots.com/user/garyger/1 Hers: 2001 Aquamarine Touring 5 speed w/gold accents His: 2003 Inferno Red Touring 5 speed w/white accents Posts: 976 | From: North Brunswick, NJ US | Registered: May 28, 2001, 12:00 AM ptgeebee Cruiser Addict PT Cruiser Club Member Posted: Jan 14, 2008, 4:37 AM Post #3 of 24 (633 views) Shortcut Re: [FloweryBranchCruiser] Rest in Peace, AU CRZR Can't Post A very nice tribute. ---------- East Tennessee PT Posts: 742 | From: Maryville, TN | Registered: Nov 14, 2004, 4:53 AM Fabrisia Cruiser Expert Posted: Jan 14, 2008, 5:00 AM Post #4 of 24 (630 views) Shortcut Re: [ptgeebee] Rest in Peace, AU CRZR Can't Post Doug will be soooo missed.

They asked the Cruisers to put one on their car in memory of Doug. All the PTs (lead by Darryl) caravanned together, and we had our AU flags flying. We got to line the Cruisers up near the gravesite. I had never been to a military funeral before, and it tore me up. His son-in-law (also named Chris) is Air Force and presented Sharon with the flag. Someone on the hill played Taps. An officer drove in from Birmingham for visitation to present Sharon with a medal for Doug's 35 years of civilian service. ---------- AL PTCC Director http://al.ptcruiserclub.org/alabama/ Posts: 2435 | From: Homewood, AL | Registered: Aug 13, 2002, 12:00 AM a_hnau Cruiser Newbie Posted: Jan 14, 2008, 12:11 PM Post #6 of 24 (591 views) Shortcut Re: [FloweryBranchCruiser] Rest in Peace, AU CRZR Can't Post I didn't know this chap, but have to say I admire the respect and honour with which you're marking his passing.

Doug will be sorely missed. It sounds like the service was beautiful and a true tribute to an incredible man. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends - our thoughts and prayers are with them. PTCC will be a bit less bright without him and his terrific sense of humor - but I imagine he would remind us all that most of us would never have had the opportunity to "meet" one another without the PT connection. Therefore, I am once again reminded why I am very glad to hang my hat here with all of you. After all, we are family, too, and this thread shows how much we care and share. Rest in peace, Doug.

This youtube video is from a memorial service here in Montgomery. This man lost his 2 year old son last weekend. His name is Rick Burgess. Ya'll may know him as Rick from the "Rick and Bubba" show on the radio. As much as I can not imagine losing my child, it still hits home with how I feel about losing my dad. It is long, but well worth the viewing. It expresses what my dad believed and what we believe as a family. The sound was quiet on my computer, but easily listened to through earphones. ---------- AUCRZR on Horsepower TV Show http://webpages.charter.net/tigertown/hptv.3g2 AUCRZR'S PT PIX WEBSITE http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2954617/1 My Other Toys.. 1979 El Camino http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2606839 1969 SS Chevelle (00=SS=00)http://www.cardomain.com/ride/791497 2003 Electric Blue/2003 Onyx Green (Sharon's "In the Pink" ) Posts: 2186 | From: Dead Men Tell No Tales | Registered: May 5, 2003, 7:38 AM   PT Cruiser Discussion     PT Cruiser General Forum     PT Cruiser Technical Discussion     PT Cruiser Customizing and Accessorizing     PT Cruiser Turbo Models     PT Cruiser Convertible Models     PT Cruiser Dream Cruiser Models     PT Cruiser Events     PT Cruiser News and Rumors     PT Cruiser Design Suggestions for Chrysler     PT Cruisers For Sale     PT Cruiser Parts Trading Post     Test Messages PT Cruiser Club Members Discussion     PT Cruiser General Forum     Welcome New PT Cruiser Club Members     PT Cruiser Waiting Room     PT Cruiser Purchasing Tips     PT Cruiser Customizing Tips     PT Cruiser Tech Tips     PT Cruiser TSB's     PT Cruiser Recalls     Remember When     PT Cruiser Club Newsletters     PT Cruiser Club Chapters
