Please explain the comment speed kills. He was only doing 75 mph and had at least 100 feet of open space in front of him. I really feel sorry for this man and his family but don't get it.

Hey Gang,

Just thought I would post an update to this thread. Tom Clark died while riding his Harley at the age of 59. His family is looking for some additional info if anyone has any details or know anyone who does. Funeral is Thursday am.

Direct link: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...p;postcount=85

ORIGINAL: Posted by Tom's Daughter Tami, on BARF
Tom is my dad. Thank you to everyone for your prayers. To the *** that called my dad a corpse - please refrain from posting about people who die, you have ZERO tact, and yes, eventually family member will read posts.

My dad is a GREAT man. He was commuting to work. We have no accurate account of what happened. We have heard varying stories from the police and also from "eye witness" accounts. My mother, sister and brother, along with the rest of the family would really like some answers. My dad was an experienced biker and would not have lost control like CHP is reporting - not under normal circumstances. We really need some answers. Please contact my cousin (above) or myself at ladirose2@yahoo.com or (916) 662-2400.

The funeral will be Thursday morning at 11am at Holy Angels in Antioch.

He has a wife of 39 years (this would have been 40 in Sept.) and he would have been 60 in October. He has 3 children, 7 grandchildren and a great-grandson. He was a hardworking (drywaller) who also served in Vietnam (Army). His mother turned 85 the day he died.

Death of a loved one is never easy - but sudden tragedies like this without answers to how it happened are so much harder to take. I plead to anyone's good heart to furnish info to help us understand what happened to him. I miss my daddy (

(My last Father's day card to him - and what I wil be reading at his funeral)
Dad,
you're not used to showing how you feel-
at least with words anyway.
But everyday of your life
you've shown how much
you love your family
by your hardwork
and quiet strength
and by your constant
and supportive presence
in the lives of those
you care about.
You are the kind of man
who is admired...
But more than that,
you're the kind of father
who loves beyond words.
And I hope you will always remember
you are loved beyond words
for all the wonderful things you are.

Author - Suzanne Heins

BTW - This card showed up tonight while I was helping my mom get her home ready for all the relatives coming in from across the states. It was all of a sudden just laying on the floor..for me to find. I know my dad was letting me know that he knows we love him and he is still here watching over us... as always his silent way to let us know he loves us, even beyond the grave.
