In April, god gave him the ulimate ride to heaven ,
where we all know that he is by far better there but
we nonetheless still miss him.

Remembering:
When it came time for this
years ride, the excitement and enthusiasm was there, but yet
there was something missing, Fellow rider Jeff (Jingles) Hill.
Jeff was taken from us all in April of 2000, from an automobile
accident. Jeff was from
Chillicothe (where I live) and I remember many times passing his
smiling face on the highway. One of my favorite memories of Jeff
is the time during the very first ride, I rode with him on his
motorcycle from one stop to the next. The 2nd year at the
KOA campgrounds, he brought fireworks and kept setting them off,
just having fun. I hear the campgrounds almost kicked everyone
out. The first ride when Jeff learned that Tennessee had a helmet
law, Jeff went and bought him a bicycle helmet and wore that. He
was just so full of suprises. Words cant describe the loss that
we all have suffered. I went to Sandy Hook to see the motorcycles
off for the ride this year, and on the way back, we stopped by
Wal-Mart and got some ribbon and flowers, and made him an
arrangement (shown in the pictures). We later went to the
cemetary and placed it on his grave. He was a big part of the
Keith and Randy Whitley Ride, and to all his friends. We hope
this page does him justice in remembering the great man we all
knew as JINGLES.
Fly on...Freebird.
