Biker event to raise money for local man's funeral costs

SALISBURY — On Saturday, local motorcyclists, family and friends will honor local Salisbury resident and business owner Carl Hutchinson, who died at age 56 last month, with a ride and "Celebration of Life" party, co-hosted by LaChiquita's, Route 1, Salisbury.

"My dad used to take us to motorcycle events," said his daughter Ashley (Hutchinson) Turner. "It was always fun seeing motorcycles in our driveway when we were kids. He was a fixture in the motorcycle community, supporting a lot of charity rides."

"He gave a lot, and we are still in shock, but we want to honor and remember him as the husband, father, grandfather and friend he was to a lot of people. I'm honored his community wants to ride in his memory now."

Riders will begin staging at the LaChiquita's on Route 1 starting at 10 a.m. At noon, they will pull out for a short 29-mile ride through Amesbury and Southern N.H., head back to Hillside Cemetery and meet up with family and friends of Hutchinson for a grave site remembrance service, then go back to LaChiquita's for the Celebration of Life party with food, live music and prize raffles.

The Massachusetts Motorcyclists Survivor's Fund (www.MassMSF.org) is the host organization of the event to help the family offset funeral expenses. Requested donation is $15 per person, with children under 16 free.

"Carl gave a lot of himself over the years, working and participating in numerous charities. It is right to respect and honor his contributions and show his family he was respected and appreciated," said Paul W. Cote of Amesbury, president of the Survivor's Fund.

Advance tickets can be purchased at LaChiquita's, Drew's Cycle, Uncle Eddie's (all Salisbury) and Seacoast Cycles, (Newburyport) or online at www.MassMSF.org through Oct. 19 for tickets mailed to you or until Oct. 23 for tickets picked up at the door.
