Tribute for Toney
Where to begin… I sincerely, from the depth of my soul, want to thank everyone for the love, prayers, and offers of assistance throughout this difficult time. The outpouring of appreciation for this wonderful human being, whom I proudly called my partner, is so warmly received. The heartfelt cards and phone calls coming from all corners of the country, and even the world, moved Toney in a way that words cannot express. “Thank you” doesn’t seem quite adequate.
In true Toney fashion, we will hold a celebration of his birth and life on June 4th (his birthday) at our home in Massillon, Ohio. We will then saddle up and ride to Florida the next day , where he wished to be thrown to the wind off the Daytona Beach Pier. It’s a place that he could always escape to, where he felt wild and free. This past February 18th, despite physical symptoms of his worsening illness, Toney braved the trip to Daytona on his ‘51 Chief Indian, feeling it might be his last. Anyone who is able and willing is more than welcome to join us on Toney’s very final ride. And every coming year during Bike Week and the Eustis meet, I hope the pier might act as a place of solitude which friends with lingering Indian questions might escape to in hopes of an answer. Or even just a hello and God Bless.
Phone calls, though very appreciated, can be overwhelming as I am very emotional. Further details about these events will be posted.
