Sputnik

August 12, 1939 through June 24, 2010

Founder and Chairman of Texas Motorcycle Rights Association and member of the Law Makers Club.
Sputnik, age 70, passed away over and is now with Jesus.  He is survived by his wife, Gwendolyn, three children; Chance, Vernon and his daughter Lisa.

Sputnik was the founder of the Texas Motorcycle Rights Association.  He has received Awards that include the Libertarian Party “Lady Liberty Award” and the Ron Roloff Lifetime Achievement Award”.

Sputnik was truly proud of those “legislative Warriors” who stood behind him and made all these accomplishments possible.  There are now Bikers in every level of government in Texas, from City Council, Judges, School Boards, Mayors, and even State Representatives and Senators.  Today, only 17 of our 181 State Legislators have been at the Capitol longer than Sputnik.

Sputnik will go down in history as the greatest Motorcycle Rights Activist in the History of our Nation, and we, as his Task Force, were truly blessed to be a part of the great Warrior's life…God has a special place in Heaven or Sputnik, and he told me yesterday that he wanted all of us to continue the political work and to carry forward with his final Rally for the Birthday Bash in July.

We will be having a Celebration of Life memorial service for Sputnik on July 10, 2010 in his home area of Galveston County.

We will follow up with proper times and the location as the issues get worked out.

Our sincerest regrets go to the entire Biker Community.
