Sue, Bobby, Jack, Brad my sincerest sympathies to you. Bob would come to the coaches office, plop down like he was a coach and proceeded to fix our and the world's problems as only Bob could do. What a great guy.
I want you to know even though it has been many years since Rogers, but there is not a day goes by, that I don't have a flashback to those days. The Berry family is at the top of my favorites.
So sorry for your loss. May God Bless.

Bob loved to ride and loved to ride with us. When I met Bob he was on a small bike (way too small for him) and I wondered what the heck he thought he was doing riding a motorcycle at his age. Then I got to know Bob and realized that is what kept him young and alive. Then he got a Screamin Eagle and I thought the same thing again, what does he think he's doing on a such a fast bike? Well on many occasions we rode home together and it was evident that he could definitely keep up and pass you if you were going too slow. On one of our rides to Sodolacks for Chicken Fired Bacon he went down on a gravel road. Thinking the worst on such a old man going down, we all raced to his rescue. He told the ambulance to leave, we patched up his bike and continued to the destination cause Bob wanted his Chicken Fried Bacon. He rode home with Me and Earl D. in tow to watch over him. We got him in his house, got his boots off and found his sock was soaked in blood. He had broke his ankle in the fall. He had also broke his collar bone. He rode over 300 miles that day, most of them with a broken ankle and collar bone. Bob was determined he would ride again. He healed up, got back on his bike and rode with us every chance he got to the end.
> What I realize now is that it was not a old man on a bike I was seeing but a young man living life every minute. He attributed his riding to keeping him young and alive. I believe that to be true for Bob. I know I will miss him as well as many others in our group. If you knew Bob you were blessed, if you didn't, ask us about him and we will be able to give you a Bob story easily. RIP Bob. Sue we are here if you need anything.

My condolences especially to Sue and also Bob's family.
I don't remember when I first met Bob but it was probably about 10 years ago when Bob decided he wanted a motorcycle and began riding with the "Friday Riders". There was not one person that rode with us that did not feel a deep loss. Bob could entertain us for hours with his life stories if we had the time to listen. His stories were fascinating and many very humorous. He enjoyed so much making us laugh and we enjoyed laughing with him. I don't know how many times he told me how glad he was to hook up with the Friday riders. He so looked forward to the Friday rides when his health permitted.
A story he told me was that he purchased a computer because I refused to call him and tell him where and when we were meeting to start the Friday rides each week. I told him that I had nearly 100 riders and that I could not start calling riders because it took to much time. I told him that I needed an email address to send the info to him as I did the others so he went out and bought a computer and got an email address.
Another story is when he had his first bike, the Harley Sportster. The story goes that a young lady saw us all ride up to a restaurant and asked "which one of you guys is riding that little Sportster". He said he went home and told Sue what the lady said and that Sue said you need to get you a bigger bike. I don't know if it is true or not but we all laughed and that is when he went out and traded for a Harley Screamin' Eagle Road King CVO.
My last story and my favorite is the one he told of taking his bike in for service at the Harley dealership. He said the technician told him that he needed a new set of tires. The tech told him that both tires were only worn on one side and he asked Bob how that happened. Bob told the technician that Sue never let him take long trips so all he ever did was leave his house and ride in a circle and return back home.
The Friday Riders including myself want the family to know how much we loved to have Bob riding with us. Since he was a Marine he was trained to be tough and he was one tough rider. He never complained even on his last rides with us when he was struggling. He was determined to give it his all as long as he possibly could.
Bob, we love you and greatly miss you.

Dear Sue, NOW all the great men are gone. I will always remember Bob for his ever present BIG smile, bright eyes and tremendous sense of humor--and isn't this the way he would want to be remembered!! Our family so enjoyed Bob and his deep love for his friends and what a treasure that our father, HP had been one of those very lucky people. To have you and Bob in our lives as loyal friends to our parents has and remains a true blessing. We love you, and our thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with you!!Lisa Ann Goodrich

Dear Sue and family,
Bob was the coolest guy I've known. In a pair of shades, he looked like Charlton Heston.
He socialized with everyone when he went on rides and always had something good to say about others. I envied how he got hugs from so many of the lady riders!
He loved his great family, his country, the Marines, the Friday riders and his Harley.
Bob was a true friend of mine and he lived a good and full life. You did well, my friend.
Love to you and yours, Sue
