Wallingford Bikers Make Trek To Florida To Honor Late Friend

WALLINGFORD, CT — A group of Wallingford men made good on their promise to give their late friend an adventure in Key West, Florida that he always wanted.

The Keynoter reports that five bikers from Wallingford gave their friend Rob Foxx a special sendoff by making a trek to Florida near the one year anniversary of his death. Foxx died last March 3 at the age of 41 of cancer.

After driving down to Florida in a truck, the group rode their Harley-Davidsons down the eastern seaboard of Florida for eight hours until they reached the end of the road, Key West — where friends told the Keynoter that Foxx always dreamed of visiting.

One of the bike’s had a trailer attached that carried a black casket with Foxx’s ashes inside, according to the Keynoter.

Foxx was paralyzed from the waist down as a result of a mountain climbing accident when he was 18 but friends told the Keynoter that nothing stopped him from having an active, adventurous life.
