This thread will serve as a place for participants and well wishers to discuss and share the happenings of today's events.

Please feel free to post any pictures from today's event. I will be bringing my camera along to document the day.

Lets wish everyone a safe drive, good eats, and a fun day!

Go Doyers!

 

Thanks Trey , Subscribing , wishing Everybody safe travels

 

I have some to share:

Bill Pounds and his wife, Carol, had this cake built, and I believe it typifies Steve's varied interests very well!

Thank you to all of the FTE SoCal members for letting us SoCal Diesel Trucks members join this celebration of Steve.
It was a great turnout. Just goes to show how many peoples lives Steve touched. He was a great man as will be greatly missed. Just like it was said today, "If you could only have one friend, Steve would be the one to have".

 

I never got the opportunity to meet Steve, and wasn't active in the SoCal Chapter prior to his passing.
There were moments shared today. I am sorry that I was only able to experience Steve through the pain of others.

Steve was a great man, and had the blessing of being able to surround himself with great people. The folks that were able to come, are a wonderful group.

 

Never the less we are glad you made it out and hope to see you in future gatherings.

 

Awesome job on the cake Bill and Carol, thank you.
Thanks for the PA Pop and the pics.

Indeed.
Hope to see all you guys more.

Shows your character that you were compelled to be there without personally knowing Steve.
Thank you for the great job on the condiments.
You went above and beyond.
Indeed.
Thanks Trey for taking so many pics.

On a personal note, my wife and I had a wonderful time.
Thanks to all.
BTW
My new grandson is beautiful.

 

I hope it was worth me jumping around everywhere, getting in the way.

Awesome pics as usual Trey. It was great to see the huge turnout for this rememberance. Steves reach went far beyond FTE and the diversity of folks in attendance mirrored Steves interest in people and trucks.

I can't thank enough everyone who helped pull off this event (especially the early risers!): Bill, Marv, Adrian, Marc, Jon, Trey, Bob, Will, and their amazing wives!

 

It was great to see so many old friends, and to meet many new ones. Thanks for all the pictures. They are really well done.

Steve would have loved what we all did together.

 

I had a great time, and the weather was awesome, maybe Steve had a hand in that? The cake was perfect, great job Bill and Carol. It was a good turnout, and a testament to how many people Steve reached.I did not get many pics but will post them shortly.

A special Thank you to Trey who went out of his way to pick me up in Fresno so I could be there. I would not have been able to make it otherwise. Thanks again.

I thought I had taken a picture of the cake, but I don't have it, so I am glad someone took one. Here are my pics, or actually the pics that came out well. Others were blurry, I always keep my camera on full auto so sometimes it focuses on what it thinks I want and not what I want.















I am a bit surprised I did not take more pictures, I guess I was too busy getting into the moment.

Kinda nice to meet new friends because of an old one.
Steve would have indeed loved that Bill.

 

Great photos Trey. I especially like the one of Gail. That just warms the heart seeing her smile at such an event. Kudos to all involved and I was glad I was able to come down. My parents and I had a great time today, only wish Steve had been there in person instead of spirit!

 

Thank you. The one of Gail is my favorite, even though it's simplistic. Gail is happy, surrounded by her extended family.

Thanks for making it. Glad you were there.
