Member Memorials This page is dedicated by the members of Denton County SCRC chapter 195 in remembrance of those who continue to ride with us in spirit.

Gary "Tuddy T/3" Truitt August 7, 1947 ~ May 31, 2011 We lost a very close friend and a brother as a result of a fatal motorcycle accident. He served in the United States Army with Special Forces for 13 years. He was a Masonic Lodge member both Scottish Rite and York Rite. We will remember Gary always with a smiling face and his sense of humor. He was always there to meet the troops coming back from overseas at DFW airport. He will be missed by his wife Linda, son Michael and all the Denton County Chapter #195. We will remember the “Spirit of Tuddy” as the result of one of his favorite rides, “The Spirit Run”. Gary led this ride to Gun Barrel City Texas to his brother’s wateringhole called the “Hoot-N-Holler” where we got special treatment on spirits we were able to bring back home with us. We plan to make the Spirit of Tuddy live on and we thank him for letting us share a part of his life.

Lile Hayden Goodspeed July 29, 1956 ~ August 3, 2008 Lile Hayden Goodspeed Jr., 52, passed away peacefully at St. Anthony Central Hospital in Denver, CO. His unexpected death was attributed to drowning while white water rafting on a river in Colorado called Clear Creek. Lile was born in Nocona, TX and served in the US Navy from 1973 - 1976. If Lile wasn't working as a senior information specialist at Alcon Laboratories, he would travel extensively on his motorcycle, seeking for the next big adventure on the road. Lile was a compassionate and fun-loving man who touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed by his surviving wife, Listy.

Richard "Family Guy" Jaeger August 17, 1950 ~ November 22, 2006 "So when a great man dies, For years beyond our ken, The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Rich was born in Port Jefferson, NY on August 17, 1950. In 1970 he enlisted in the Navy and proudly served on the USS Enterprise during the Vietnam War. After serving his country he moved to Houston, Texas where he worked in the oil industry. In 1984 he moved to Carrollton, Texas and through hard work became a prominent business owner. One thing close to his heart during his life was motorcycling. It started in 1967 with a Honda 305 Nighthawk, then a Triumph 650 Bonneville, a 1962 Harley Chopper, a 2000 Yamaha Venture Millennium Edition, a 2001 Suzuki 1500 Intruder known as Suzi, and then another 2001 Suzuki 1500 Intruder which he referred to as Suzi II. In 2004, Rich joined the Denton County Chapter #195. During that time her earned the road name of “Family Guy”. If you ever met Rich, you'd know that he was a big guy, not only in size but in heart too. He not only looked like “Family Guy” but it was because the loved he had for his Family and Friends is why the name really fit him. On Wednesday, November 22, 2006 Rich “Family Guy” Jaeger was taken from us. Rich was a good friend and a Great Ambassador to the Bike world. He was a high quality friend and he will be remembered for the leadership that he brought to this chapter. He will also be remembered for his willingness to help anyone when he could, and his marvelous spark of humor that could make you laugh so hard that your face would hurt. He will never be forgotten for he will always be in our hearts. Remember, you were always a friend of mine! Good bye my friend, Members of the Southern Cruisers Denton County Chapter #195
