  Kenny West was born on March 26th, 1930 and left us on March 25th, 2007.  Kenny and his bride of 53 years,  Barbara, met at a dance down in Visalia, CA.  Kenny will be going back there to his final resting place.  Kenny enjoyed camping and motorcycling.  They were actually part of the team that got the idea of a motorcycle chapter in the Rogue Valley started back in 1991.   They were also the Chapter Directors of the Rogue Valley Wings in those early years.  Together they participated in many motorcycle events until he couldn't ride anymore.  I remember when Kenny dropped his bike at the Valley of Rogue pancake breakfast.  Barb said "that's it; we are driving from now on."  Then they showed up in their 4 wheels.  We will carry him in our hearts as we continue on riding without him.  We will miss you Kenny.  Our prayers are with Barb and the rest of his family.  Lillian

  On March 12, 2007 Chapter A lost one of our members; Ivan Sanders. We will miss his always friendly smile. He had been in the hospital in Arizona for several days and passed away at 9:00 AM in the morning. Our prayers go out to his wife, Rosemary, and the rest of his family.  For Ivan's Obituary Notice, Click Here        Judy

  One of our most cherished members and wonderful friends went to be with the Lord on December 20th, 2006---Jim Terrell.  If you were around Jim for even 5 minutes, your life was probably made better for it.  He had so many health issues throughout his lifetime, but hardly ever complained; and was always ready with a joke to make someone else smile.  We have had so many great bike trips, dinners, and get-togethers with Jim and Marty; that we will truly miss.   Gail always enjoyed just going over and sitting with him and talking about bike stories and looking at the latest Wing World magazine.  Jack & Harriet Woods were the lucky new owners of Jim's trike.  They are just having a ball riding it and they made sure that it was there at his service as well.  The pastor was looking for the clubhouse, and saw the trike outside the door, and knew he had found the right spot.  Patrick and Lillian also rode their trike and bike in Jim's honor.  Many old and new friends from Chapter A and M came to see their friend off.  We know he's no longer in pain and that's the only reason that we can rejoice in his passing.  We will dearly miss him.  Especially those August 15th get-togethers for Dick and Joyce's and Jim and Marty's anniversaries, and Lillian's birthday.  We love you Jim and miss you deeply.  Lillian and Gail

 On December 3, 2006 Chapter M and Chapter A lost one of their most committed members; Dave Burkus.  His son Larry told us he apparently had a massive heart attack.  During our 2006 poker run, Dave (who lived in Yreka) drove his truck up to Medford so he could help out by running errands for us.  He ran after ice, took Joann back and forth from the Honda shop checkpoint, put road signs up on the poker run route, and helped with teardown and return of all the chairs and tables.  What a great addition to our Chapters he was.  He rode his orange 1800 Goldwing to almost every Chapter meeting in Grants Pass and Medford.  When there was a ride scheduled he was usually there.  Margie would come in the pickup truck and join us as well.  I remember a Coast ride and a lunch stop for fish and chips.  What fun it was!!  We will all deeply miss our friend and fellow motorcycle rider.  Our prayers go out to his wife, Margie, and the rest of his family.   Lillian
