Corey DeVere Berkman

We staged at Casey's store in Richmond MN. We had 20 bikes there. Jim Parent lead us in prayer after a short briefing. We left for a short ride to the Wenner Funeral home. When we arrived there were 5 tow trucks and drivers there from All Care towing paying their respects to Corey, he worked part time for All Care towing. Corey's Mother and father (Karen & Glenn) were outside when we arrived. They thanked us for being there for Corey. We thanked them for Corey's service to the MNPGR and how sorry we were for their loss of Corey.

Glenn showed me the flag he had mounted on his bike, He said Corey bought it for is bike to go on missions but never got it mounted. Glenn put it on his bike in memory him. We then went inside to pay our respects to Corey. There were hundreds of pictures of Corey from grade school to present. As we were leaving I stopped to talk with Karen, she was holding a picture of Corey, she said it was taken last weekend at the Tomahawk rally, we shared tears and a hug.

Thank you for what you do, it really makes a difference.
