"Papa John"

Papa John was the IBF's first elected President. He was elected in 1989 and held that position right up until 2004 when he was taken from us due to cancer. Papa was a true Brother and a leader. We all considered him the Father of the IBF. He was rich in wisdom and was loved and respected by everyone.Whenever he showed up somewhere it wasnt long before a Party was sure to break out. Papa was also an accomplished musician and had his own country & western band wich he played in local venues since the sixties. He was also an ordained minister who performed many Biker Weddings,some in which people traveled great distances to be married by him. Whether he was singing and playing his Telecaster or riding his Harley and Partying with his Bro's, Papa reached out and touched us all in a positive way. He will be sadly missed and live forever in our hearts !
