In Memory

William "Mac" Peter McGuinness Sr, a longtime resident of Livermore, died Friday, March 31, 2006 at the VA Hospital in Livermore.  He was 59.

Born in Chicago Ill., he served two tours of duty as a Marine in Vietnam.  He was an electronics maintenance worker for more than 10 years and had a passion for motorcycles, which he followed as a member of the Livermore Henchman Motorcycle Club.  Mr. McGuinness is survived by his son, David and sister Gail.
 
Bill was an active Fremont HOG member for ten years.  His favorite runs included the Auburn Sweetheart Run and the Death Valley Run.  He's famous for barbequing at chapter events like the Picnic, Dennis Hall, and Halloween.  Bill was also known as a practical joker and played many jokes on his friends, especially Sauls.  Bill owned many different motorcycles during his time with the chapter, including a Honda Valkerie and a pink and white Titan.  Bill had an infectious smile and was loved by those who knew him.

Tiki began riding in 1957.  He rode as often as the weather and his health would allow.  When he passed, he was just shy of 72.  He was once a member of a motorcycle drill team and earned a certificate from the Highway Patrol after passing their course at 65.
 
As an Ambassador for Fremont HOG, Tiki was the best.  He wore his colors every day – not just for meetings.  He would greet new people and welcomed back ones that had been away for a while.
 
Tiki had a smile, a laugh and hug for everybody.  He had a twinkle in his eyes that many people remember long after they have met him.
 
Tiki worked at Nummi most of his adult life.  His best memories of Nummi are the times they sent him to Japan to learn the Toyota Production System (TPS).
 
When Tiki wasn’t riding or working  he was working with wood and creating new and wonderful things.  Tiki’s art was recently on display at a chapter favorite restaurant, “Ono’s” in Half Moon Bay. 

A longtime resident of Fremont. Bill passed away suddenly on a flight returning from a Mediterranean cruise. Survived by his wife of 42 years, Darlene. His daughter Cindy Johnson and her husband Bill from Fremont. His son Greg McCullough and his wife Irene from Arnold, and his sister Dawn Albert from Brea.

He was a loving Papa to Melissa, Felicia, Michael, Matthew and Hannah, who made his life complete. They will have special memories of Papa taking them on "Hog" rides, ATV rides, school field trips, many family outings, eating his famous Mickey Mouse pancakes and many, many hugs and kisses.

Bill retired as a truck driver from Lucky Stores five years ago. He thoroughly enjoyed every moment of his life, especially his retirement. A proud American who served in the 101st Airborne. Bill was an avid golfer, hunter, outdoorsman and handyman. Bill loved spending time with all his family, neighbors and friends.

One of his latest joys was riding his Harley and spending time with his friends at "The Buck," aka Starbucks. Bill made friends wherever he went and always had a story or joke to tell and was always laughing. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Glenn was born in Oakland and lived in the Bay Area his whole life. During the Vietnam War, he was in the Air Force, stationed in Thailand. He worked as a Crew Chief, on B-52 Bombers.

Glenn met his wife, Diane, in 1978. He had 3 sons Glenn Jr, David, and Arick. Glenn was a proud grandfather of four grandchildren, Amanda, Nicole, Ericka, and Arick Jr. He worked at the Oakland School District, and went out on a medical retirement.

He had many hobbies through the years, some of which included, collecting football cards, comic books, coins, and cars and motorcycles from Franklin Mint. He also enjoyed wood working, but his main passion was riding with the Hog Chapter! Glenn joined the Fremont Harley Chapter in 1991 where he was very active. He was a Lifetime Member of National Hog. When he became too ill to ride the "hog" any longer, he still managed to attend the runs, even if it meant being driven in a car. He would deliver the signals for turns, hazards, etc. as if he were on the bike, it was in his blood!  

Glenn, we all miss you, may you rest in peace.
