Sympathy to the family members of the deceased. The police will do their job in reconstructing the crash.

The csene is less than half a block from the intersection of Lynch road and Wise Ave.For southbound traffic on Lynch intending to make the left into Wise it is often difficult to see oncoming trafic because of standing vehicles on northbound Lynch also waiting to make the left. Then, more often than not vehicles traveling straight through on northbound Lynch often move at greater than reasonable speed thus creating a killer intersection.

One night I was traveling south on the JFX just south of the beltway when I was passed by one of those "crotch rockets" and he had to be doing over 100 mph. I was certain I would encounter a wrecked motorcycle a little further down the road but i didn't, to my amazement.

Wayne, on 695 they are one of the worst traffic safety hazards on the road. I'm surprised with all the road resurfacing going on and the speeds their driving there aren't more crashes and fatalities.

There is no evidence at all of the motorcycle speeding. The motorcycle had the right of way. The fact that the motorcycle struck the FRONT tire area of the truck shows that the truck pulled out dead in front of the motorcycle at the last second, leaving the poor cyclist with no way to avoid the crash and his death. Some 25-30% of all motorcycle deaths are like this according to the national statistics this is very sad and much too high. The offending automobile driver almost always says they did not see the motorcyclist. Drivers need to be mire aware of motorcycles. Look two or three times when pulling out or crossing roads. I have had three friends die exactly this way . Look hard for cyclists before taking a right of way. Someone's life is depending on you. This motorcyclist could have been seen by an observant driver and be alive today. Look out for motorcycles and share the road safely.

People passing judgement on the rider and not the fact that the driver is 70 years old. maybe he shouldn't have been driving at all .there needs to be stricter testing for seniors who continue to drive .people's lives are at stake .my brother-in-law Donnie was an experienced rider . Now the family is left grieving . Most cycle crashes are not the rider's fault despite what people think.

Lynch and Wise is a horrible intersection..So many people fly on Lynch Road it's amazing that we don't have reports of more accidents.. The lights need a different pattern to not allow the turn lanes turn to oncoming traffic. They should have their own turn light and have to wait till it cycles through again..My prayers go out to the family. I know this did not occur at the intersection but pretty close.

Tommy - u probably don't remember me (Terry Miller) but we grew up together. All of us use to play together down the shore (my grandparents house in Essex; Ada & Joe Krempel). Christina would remember me from there (I snagged her with a fishing hook in her neck LOL when we were younger and fishing down there) and we went to school together. Sorry about rambling on, but I also went to school with Donnie and I can't believe he's gone . I'm sorry for your loss. Please e-mail me at softballfam39@gmail.com when u get a chance.

Mr. Snyder - I know you probably don't remember me either, but we used to hang out at your house all of the time with Donnie right after we graduated. I'm sorry for your loss. Donnie will be greatly missed. I can't get his silly laugh out of my head! Thank you for taking the time out to post the Funeral information. I will relay it to our classmates.

Im so sorry for your loss...I heard the news and couldn't believe it I was in complete shock...My thoughts and prayers are with you guys...

Tommy prayers are with your family. We just found out.

Thank you to everyone who has been there for my family! And Tommy Thank You again for being a pall bearer. I know Donnie looked at you like his second brother. And Heather all these years later your name was brought up by both Don and Joe about all the fun they had hanging out with you and several other friends they had back then. So i know Donnie never forgot ya! Oh and i guess I should mention this is Donnie's older sis Tina but only older by 4 and a half years! And if anyone has any pics of my Brother that our family doesnt Please e-mail them to me at Nevergiveup7259@yahoo.com Again Thank You!

Ug. This makes my stomach hurt that I didn't get to go to the funeral. I couldn't find a listing for it. Donnie and I were tight for 3 years in high school before he went off to the Marines. He was the first of our group to get his license. This whole thing is sad to me. I'll still have all the good times we would cut up together.
