I’ve known Scratch for a long time. We rode Harleys together a lot. He and I bought identical Harleys back in 1988. FLHTC in the cream and gold paint job. He’s sill has his in the garage. Every now and then I would see Scratch out walking when I was walking my dogs and we would talk about those bikes and the rides we went on together. He always got me in trouble with my wife when people would see his Harley sitting somewhere and I was at work but they thought it was my bike. We had some good laughs together. I will miss him.
Scratch fought for his country. Fought hard a life’s end. God has gained a new angel. We miss you❣️
I JUST HEARD OF THE PASSING OF SCRATCH. I AM SO SORRY.HE WAS ONE IF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE .
