Car Show/Parade near Sugarland,TX

Alan Duke · 09-22-2009, 11:21 AM

There will be a benefit car show / Parade to raise money for a local Houston Firefighter that was killed in a motorcycle accident on 09-02-2009. He was my son in law. All money from the event is to be placed in a trust for my grandson and his other 2 sons from a prior marriage. If anyone is interested, I will post the info as soon as I get it all. Thanks.

My condolences Alan. Seems like Houston loses a firefighter on a motorcycle
about every six months. That's the same problem the USMC has,
they have done everything but forbid bikes as they are the
leading cause of death of Marines. This has to be very tough on the boys.

Thanks Crabtruck. Yes the boys are takeing it pretty hard, except for my grandson. He is only 2 and does not fully understand yet. My 7 yo son is still coming to grips with it as well. It was Kendall (my late son in law) that got him into Monster Trucks and took him to the shows.
