The mission ride captain met the family at Wade Funeral Home for the visitation where he presented the plaque to Mrs. Koziol.  During conversation with the daughter the day before it was learned that Mr. Koziol was a big Cubs fan. The ride captain is also and wore his Cubs jersey that the family enjoyed.  Just prior to the family's arrival the RC received a text from his son....he went to school with Claudia, one of the daughters.  The family enjoyed learning we had another connection.

At the church the riders set up flags near the chapel entrance and waited for the arrival of the family. As Mr. Koziol and family arrived the riders saluted as he was moved into the chapel for the funeral service. Once the service began the flags were furled and the riders dismissed.
