Cindy...

"10 minutes...10 minutes" that's something I will forever remember Eddie saying. I also remember the first time I ever rode with him back in 1997, the group was non-existent at that time but I felt truly honored to be in his presence riding Harleys, having cocktails, telling tales, all of which Eddie was a scholar of...! The first thing he did was explain how he expected a "safe" rider to ride and how important it was to always act with respect in public whether you were alone or with the Goatheads. That's how Eddie measured a person in 'our world'. Eddie was a man of his word, always quick to give advice to anyone who would listen. At times it may not be something you may want to hear, but 'good or bad', he would always speak his mind - that's why he was always revered as a stand-up guy. You never got any bullshit out of Eddie Dyer...ever.

I have fond memories of when he spoke of you Cindy, it was like listening to someone on his first date. He worshipped the ground you walk on. For sure, you meant the world to Eddie...and I know he loved you with all his heart.

I've always been a believer that everything happens for a reason, but I can't figure out "why" in this case. Why didn't the lord allow Eddie to just wait "10 more minutes" before leaving and maybe this would never have happened... ...who knows. All I can think of is that maybe God has a bigger group of Goatheads that need direction and they need Eddie. In any case Cindy, we are all praying for you and your family and wish you strength and peace during this very difficult time. We all love you and if ever you need anything... ...

Cars, motorcycles, beer and girls: these were the common interests that brought us together 35 years ago. Our friendship began when we became roommates back in 1970, sharing an apartment in Costa Mesa, Ca. A club meeting of the Newport Volkswagon Association was where we met originally, and it was a few reunions of club members over the years that kept all connected. Our interactions over a twenty-year period were sparse, until 1969 when I bought a new Harley. I called Eddie from San Luis Obispo, CA. where I now live as I was getting ready to head to Laughlin for the River Run. He insisted that I come to Havasu and stay with him. It was like no time had passed at all. Our friendship was rekindled at that point. We still had the same interests, lots of stories to tell and lots of plans for our future fun times. Eddie loved adventure. A trip to Laconia, New Hampshire for a motorcycle rally was on our list of things to do, as was our plan to go surfing in Hawaii to celebrate our 60th birthdays. These were the most recent topics of conversation as we sat by the pool, shared a cold beer and a lot of Jack Daniels and enjoyed each others company.

Eddie was a great man, and true friend. When I think about what stands out most about Eddie the one thing that always comes to mind is his favorite saying " It' is not easy being us, never has been and never will be!" Eddie was a "True Friend" who never left anyone behind! He cared so much for the people in his life. And was always first to be there for anyone who needed him, he loved to share his life, as well as anything he had to give. He was the best man at my wedding, and I was the best man at his,,,,,,,,,,he will always me missed.

Eddie was just a very down to earth guy, who made friends, and was nice to everyone regardless of their background. Wealthy or poor: you were always looked at the same way when it came to how Eddie treated people. The amount of friendship and respect he gave to others was admired, he was a tremendous leader, and someone to follow, an example for everyone. His ability to discuss any topic with knowledge always impressed me. He was such a great guy, his presence created a brotherhood when he was around. He would always say "Mi Hermano" (MY Brother) He made us all feel like family.

To Eddie: Mi Hermano,,,,,,,,,you will be deeply missed.

From Cindy

It's not when or where we are born and there is no true signifiance to the date of our death. What truly makes a difference is what we do with the time in between. Eddie filled his life from begining to end, not just living life, but really living. He has made many friends along the way and leaves behind a family that love and miss him more than any words could express. His wishes for us, "dont forget me, live your life to the fullest". Tell his stories from time to time and keep his memory alive in your hearts.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for the beautiful cards flowers and words of encouragement. The donations made to The Eddie Dyer Scholarship Fund and to Hospice of Havasu. The outpouring of love, friendship and support has been overwhelming and a true testament to the man my husband was.
