Hundreds of motorcyclists traveled from near and far to help grant a veteran's last wish.Bob Money, 77, said doctors at the Veterans hospital can no longer do anything for his heart. They told him it's failing and he only has months to live.Money told his nephew, Richard Money, his final wish."He had a wish a while back to have 100 bikes come and visit him," Richard Money said.After Bob Money received his prognosis, Richard Money and his wife, Linda, started planning a way to bring their friends and local motorcyclists together to visit Bob."'You got biker friends don't you?' Bob Money asked Richard Money. "I said, 'Sure I do,'" Richard Money said. "He said, 'Could you bring a few of them up, I'd like to have you guys come up and visit me.'"Richard and Linda Money asked a few friends to put the word out and see how many people they would get to help grant Bob's last wish. They hoped for maybe 90 bikes, but they were blown away by the response. They were able to plan a motorcade in just six days time."Overwhelming, that's all I can say," Richard Money said. "Amazing.""It's so powerful, right?" Linda Money said. "That when you put out a call, this biker community, this veterans group, these people will rally no matter what."More than 300 bikers turned out for the surprise on Sunday. Many met at the Bucky's gas station at 42nd and Grover and rode 43 miles to Wahoo. "We can express to him just how much his service meant to the world and to our family," Linda Money said. "We can hopefully send him off with a really great powerful memory."Bob Money sat outside his assisted living facility in Wahoo, Liberty House. He thought his kids were coming for the day and that about 20 of Richard Money's biker friends would stop by and visit."I can't tell you what his reaction is going to be because it's going to be priceless, I can tell you that," Richard Money said before the surprise.As the parade of motorcycles turned the corner in front of the Liberty House, Bob Money was speechless.The bikes revved their engines and waved to the veteran."It's really nice seeing I don't have a long ways to go," Bob Money said. "Something like this you know, (it's) like in the movies.""I should be crying already, but I held back."Dozens of bikers greeted Bob Money and thanked him for his service. It was a moment far bigger than motorcycles."The heart people at the Veterans hospital, they can't help so they gave me months to live," Bob Money said. "so something like this -- nice, yeah."Bob Money shed a few tears before taking his victory lap around Wahoo. He lead the pack of 300 motorcycles on his electric wheelchair, taking them down main street.He joked that his wheelchair is his Harley."It goes six mph and it's kind of quiet," Bob Money laughed.It's a memory Bob Money will carry with him and that makes Richard and Linda Money smile."This is God working in our life," Richard Money said. "I believe that truly, you know, and it's just amazing. It's just a wonderful, wonderful feeling.""It will help his family have an absolutely positive, wonderful last memory of Bob," Linda Money said. "For me it's like we've been able to give him a last gift."Bob Money's brother, Charlie Money, a decorated Vietnam veteran, also took a ride Sunday while his brother lead the way.Motorcyclists traveled from as far as Joplin, Missouri, to surprise Bob Money.
