My brother-in-law, Jimmy Rosa, loved his Harley Davidson V-ROD. This motorcycle was without a doubt the fastest “on the ground” vehicle he had driven. While he traveled much faster [ground speed] as a pilot and captain of Airbus 300’s, the V-ROD was his pride and joy.
Jimmy passed away this spring. He is greatly missed by his wife Terry, his children and family members and his many many friends.
Take a minute and look at [the link below] his memorial service which was held at Beach Church in Myrtle Beach SC. The service clearly reflects Jimmy’s life.

By the way, one of his favorite sayings was “God Bless America“.
James “Jimmy” Rosa went to live on in eternity with our Lord Jesus on March 29.
Jimmy was born May 18, 1959, in New York City, New York.
His heart reflected how much he loved to laugh, and he brought happiness to all those around him with his smile. Being a pilot of aviation, Jimmy enjoyed the skies and had the best view from an airplane. From the seat of his motorcycle, he enjoyed a passion for riding in the wind and experiencing the many places the road would take him.
Jimmy was predeceased by son, Lance Cpl. Anthony James Rosa, Sept. 23, 2010.
Jimmy’s heart was to love others because Jesus first loved him, therefore he was loved by many.
