So sorry for your loss.. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Tigger will be missed by so many people.
Dear Jeanie and kids. I am sorry to have read of your loss of John. I will always have fond memories of you (Sundance Lady) and John (Tigger) on our great times spent motorcycling all over the highways and byways of Wisconsin. We had some great times with you and the "guys". We know John rides now on the rolling thunder highway above. God bless.

John, darn it I am gonna miss you....I already have for a long time, not working with you. My favorite memory was the morning you put me in the back of the garbage truck in pelican lake, and second would be the time you left me on the side of the road. Most people reading this will think it's mean but, you John, are laughing, as you were while I was giving you the evil eyes on those two occurances...I love you buddy. Thank you for supporting Doon and I ...we miss you Soooo much.
