Anthony was so fun, full of life, unique, and independent. I really enjoyed his company and I’m sure you all did too. I’ll really miss seeing his face and hearing his stories of traveling to California on his bike to see the ocean for the first time. He really loved his bike, he also loved bikers and their free life-style. Anthony was the type of guy who would give the shirt off of his back for someone and he did many of times for other bikers in need. He was also funny and his laugh was contagious, I called him for his guard card and his ring-back was Mario Brothers, I thought that was funny- he was unique.. I’d never heard that ring-back =p. He really enjoyed working with T.E.A.M. and he will be greatly missed at the events. Although he liked working with T.E.A.M. he really wanted to be a pilot, he had taken classes and spent many hours actually flying planes. He was very goal oriented and really did do what he loved. Anthony will be greatly missed. I’m in shock… he was too young. I’m sorry for your loss and the company’s loss, he was great.......Kendra Witham 11/06/07

Charlie Showers passed away on August 30th, 2004. Charlie was our “Iron Man”.
He was the first in, and last out pretty much every time he worked for us.
Even though he was three times the age of most of our employees, he worked
the longest shifts, always with a ready smile, incredible attitude, and
never a complaint. Aside from his work habits being an inspiration for us
all, he had several other jobs, and fulfilled each of them with the same
dedication and commitment to excellence.

Charlie was an institution at Cricket Pavilion. He would come in before
anyone else, and was the last one to leave, often 18 or 20 hours later. If
we had a show the next morning, there was Charlie, smile and positive
attitude. For every employee of Cricket Pavilion, Charlie was the first
person they saw when they arrived, and the last when they left. His friendly
smile and wave will be remembered forever. No matter who will work his post
in the future, I know that Charlie will be right there, and all those that
remember him will still see him as they pull into the lot.

A new award has been created to honor not only Charlie, but all of our
employees that exemplify the work habits, commitment and dedication that was
Charlie. The Charlie Showers  Employee of the Year Award will be presented
to that employee, who best exemplifies not only the best we have to offer,
but the consistency that we will all remember Charlie for.

I recently lost a close friend. She was killed on January 3rd, in a single car accident in Oregon, where she was from. Even though we had known each other less than a year, we had grown very close in that time. We met under the most unusual of circumstances, and it was love at first sight. We encountered many challenges in the time we knew each other, and some pulled us apart, others brought us closer together. I can say at the end, we were looking forward to a future together, and that the prospect of that shared future not only made us both work harder at bettering ourselves, but I have to believe, made her last days happy.

She was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen, both inside and out. She had the most amazing and sincere smile, and eyes that were the deepest blue you can imagine. She had a warmth and depth of caring that I have never seen. She had a lot of demons that she had to fight on a regular basis, but she was winning the battle. She will always remind me of a spring bird, happily flying around, loving every minute of her life, in spite of much pain that she felt inside. She never showed her hurt, only her happiness. In many ways, she was like a child, living her life to the extreme, and so pleased and happy in discovering something new. A few of you met her, as she came out to a few shows, and stopped by the office a few times. She was an incredibly shy and private person, and I honor her by not sharing the depth of emotions I feel for having lost her, but just to say that I was blessed by her love, and will miss her very much. Cristy - You are now with the angels you loved so much, and hopefully found the peace you so yearned for. I love you, and will miss you always.
