hercules update

[one2dmax]

Many of you probably remember Hercules (ken) what was building a fat tire vmax and was pretty much done with it. In searching for information on him I found that he had passed away a few months ago (about when he stopped posting). He apparently had a massive heart attack.

I was trying to get in touch with him so we could settle up with his final bill. He must have passed sometime in early august. It's been pretty difficult trying to get in contact with any of his family and they told me the bike was given to his friend Scott or Steve. If anyone in the MD area happens to see this bike or know his friend have them give me a call (or get their info).

Here's is what I found about him:

Link from a contest in 2005 - he was built pretty damn good.

This sucks.

Buster, do you think we could add a Memorial page to the site?

RIP brother Hercules.

I agree it is sad....RIP

 

[vmaxinID]

Damn,

First forum brother I have known here that has passed away. :Angel::rip::Angel:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the sunLight on the ripened grain
I am the gently falling autumn rain

When you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift upLighting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft starLight at night
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep

-- Hopi prayer


I guess he will never get that chance to kick John Cornells ass....:boxing00:

That's really nice vmaxinID, thanks.

I think a memorial page would be very nice.

Yes of course I remember Herc. I was helping him with a starting issue, if yoyu remember his starter would enagage on its own while riding... We were working back and forth and all of a sudden he stopped writing I thought it was kind of strange..
I am not one to pout over ones death, on a positive note I am sure they have some bad ass VMAXes in the world he is living in now, has to be better than this country.
Just passing through...


RIP HERC

So sad to hear this.

 

[QuarterHorse]

Horrible news

God Speed Herc.....

 

[dannymax]

I didn't know what he looked like until Sean posted some info on him.
He obviously worked extremely hard at building his body up and was most likely competing at the national, or possibly international level.
Had to be very dedicated and disciplined to acheive what he did.
He was impressive!

Here is a picture of Herc that he uploaded in this thread http://www.vmaxforum.net/showthread.php?p=24593#post24593 . The woman is identified as Mary, who I guess is his wife?

RIP Herc. :rip:
