A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, June 28th, 2021 at 11:00am to honor the life and memory of our fellow PGR Member Tom Roff, who passed unexpectedly on June 16th. Tom joined up with the Southern Colorado PGR 3 - 4 years ago and during a Post 38 Steak Night, also signed up with the Son's of the American Legion, and as recently as May was elected Captain of the Color Guard for the American Legion Riders Color Guard.
While, like many of us, Tom himself was not a veteran, he felt a duty and calling to support those who have given so much in defending our Great Nation. As he was not a veteran, this is not a mission, but just information for those who would like to attend his service and show support to the family.
The memorial will be at 410 JL Ranch Heights Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80926 in Cheyenne Mountain State Park, at the Prairie Skipper Pavilion. As a State Park, there is a $9 entry fee, and limited parking, so carpooling is encouraged. I do not know if this fee is waived for this service, so plan accordingly.
For those who would like to carpool, I'd suggest meeting at the Ft. Carson Visitors Center at 10:00, and depart from there ~10:15 to the service.
Please still post condolences below if you'd like, and I will get them to the Family.
To the Family and Friends of Tom Roff;
Sincere condolences and prayers for you. So sorry for your loss. Tom was a good man and will be missed for sure.
With gratitude and respect for your service -- farewell to a valued fellow PGR volunteer.
I extend my most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Tom Roff, PGR Brother. During this most difficult time, I pray you peace.

Rest easy now, Tom…those you have left behind to carry on without you have the watch.
