Rob and Mark, so sorry to hear this. Our thoughts are with you. I didn't know your dad well but all my encounters with him were positive and friendly. Our ages were close and I was always interested in how he was doing.
He was pit crew and gas stop provider when Rob rode enduros. The photo of your dad with your motorcycle I sent a few weeks ago somehow has more relevance now.
