    Cool We Lost A Friend

    I just wanted everyone to know that former Spyder Ryder, Ed Kozlowski (BUDDA BELLY) passed away yesterday afternoon from heart and kidney failure. Ed was a Proud Navy Vet and was looking forward to retiring from the Post Office. Ed was a big grouchy teddy bear with a huge heart. I probably would have never met many of you if Ed hadn't convinced me that I could ride with him to Tom's Burgers in Dade City. He knew every good restaurant in Pinellas, Pasco, and Manatee Counties and all the cool back roads to get there. Riding with Ed and Bonnie gave me the confidence boost just when I needed it most. He was my friend and a I will miss him.

    Janie, I know that if you have taken the time to create this post, that he must have touched your life. I am truly sorry for your loss. I do hope that you will continue to share your great personality with the rest of us.

    We're all blessed to have known many in the Spyder community. Not only we ride with many of you but have become good friends over the years. Some of my closest friends I've met from the Spyder community and its always hard to hear when a fellow rider has gone to heaven. My sincere condolences.

    Just saw this. Not on here much. Sorry to hear Ed passed away. He was over a few times with us working on his Spyder. I know he loved my old Corbin seat he got from me. He will be missed.
