OKEECHOBEE — After a member of their group was killed in a motorcycle accident, his friends decided to have a memorial ride in his honor. Dale Reiss, who died on Jan. 26, 2020, was a member of the Amvets post 2001 and of the VFW Riders.
A Dale Reiss Memorial Ride was held on Jan. 30, 2021 with proceeds going to two local non-profits, Martha’s House and Trail of Hope Animal Shelter. Both of these organizations were important to Reiss, said Stu Taylor, a member of the group.
More than 65 motorcycles and over 100 people participated.
“This show that bikers are a very close-knit community, and love to raise money for charities as well as our community here at home,” said Taylor.
