sebjones906 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 On Monday, Dec. 2nd, Neil Kolby (Jeepster) Passed away from a 8 month battle with cancer. We met at the BMW So. Cal Coffee Klatch meeting which we both found on this BMW SportTouring forum. He and I learned that we had much in common and began riding together and shooting at the gun range. A quiet, clever, gentle, man, he will be missed by all that knew him. RIP ... Ride well dear friend. Link to comment

EffBee Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I don't recall if I met Neil prior to my 5-yr hiatus in WA, but I did meet him as I reconnected back through the SoCal Koffee Klatch. I learned he was ill, but his passing came so quickly after the last time I saw him. I'm sorry I didn't have the time to get to know him better. I think I would have been better for it. Rest in Peace, Neil. Link to comment
