PGR_NTX Patriot Guard Rider Down

 
Patriot Guard Rider Down
It is always a sad note when we hear of one of our fellow riders going down on his or her bike.
Larry Umhe, from Greenville, Texas went down yesterday near Commerce & Cooper Texas. Larry was taken to a local hospital in Sulphur Springs, from there was airlifted to East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, Texas where he is in the Intensive Care Unit. ICU,  Room 3363
I just talked with Beth, his wife and she said his major problem right now is internal bleeding from broken ribs and a possible punctured lung. His injuries include facial lacerations and broken bones. He is talking and said he is real sore but still has his smile.
Larry had gone for a ride with his dog (Bude) who was in the trailer behind the bike.  It appears the trailer started to sway which caused him to lose control which ended up as a single vehicle accident. Bude is doing fine, which was one of Larry's biggest worries.
Many of you are familiar with Larry & Beth from the escort rides (Black, Honda Gold Wing,  "Larry's Toy, Greenville, TX")
Beth will be keeping us informed on Larry's condition and we ask that each of you keep them in your prayers.
