In Memoriam: Chad Straight of Ware, MA

06122013ChadStraightOur sympathy, hearts and hands go out to the family and friends of Chad Straight, of Ware, who was killed Saturday while riding back home from a charity event he had attended. Early reports are the car blew through a stop sign. Sheila, his loving wife, requested this be posted and invited everyone to come out Friday night. (Bikes are WELCOMED the more the better!)

Chad’s service will be held on Friday June 28th from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. at Beers & Story Funeral Home (1475 North Main Street, Palmer, MA 01069; (413) 283-9061)). At 7pm a Special Celebration of Life service will take place. After the service there will be a gathering at Chad’s home at 52 Old Belchertown Road in Ware, MA. The gathering will be a campfire and roasting of hot dogs on open flame just like Chad loved. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Massachusetts Motorcyclists’ Survivors Fund, PO Box 446, Topsfield, MA 01983. This will just be a wake we will not be having funeral services. This is Chad’s day come as yourself he wouldnt want it any other way.
