When you ride up Washington Street in Etna as a short cut thru Cherry City to Millvale right at the split with Friday Road sits a memorial many who pass every day do not even realize is there
It sits all alone deep in the hillside and when you stop to examine it you will find it is a memorial to a well liked biker who was killed on that spot
Alan Brockelbank known by his Biker Buddy's as Silver fox was out for a ride when he was killed by a fallen tree which struck him
August 9th 2008.
While this is tragic what makes it even more horrifying is it was 100% avoidable because the tree came down when a drunk man in a pickup truck hit it.

The drunk driver paid his debt to society but Silver Fox will never be able to pursue his lifers goals .
If there is one crime where i believe the punishment is not harsh enough it is drunk driving .
My You rest in Peace Silver Fox and the piece of shit who killed you be tormented about it for the rest of his life.
