From Jessica Kriegel, Hubert's Daughter
Hello all,
Hubert made so many friends through Horizons Unlimited so I wanted to post his official announcement here. We are having a celebration of his life on February 17 in Sacramento, CA. I do hope you all will come, even if you didn't know him but were inspired by him. He was a legend.
Jessica
________________
Dear Friends and Family,
It was sudden and unexpected, but it is unfortunately true. Our beloved Hubert died yesterday on January 24, 2018 at the age of 71. He died surrounded by family and he did not suffer. It was blessedly quick. He had an aortic dissection and was gone soon after. We are in shock but grateful for the life he gave us.
For the last 9 months he was living healthy, happy (off the road), and in harmony with his family including his wife, Lorraine, his daughter, Jessica, and her family including his new granddaughter, Eleanor.
Now his ride really is timeless as he sets off on his next adventure. We are so proud of the life he lived, always on his own terms and always honestly.
We have set up a GoFundMe to help with his medical and funeral expenses. If you would like to participate, click here: https://www.gofundme.com/hubert-kriegel-memorial
We will be having a celebration of his life on February 17, 2018 at 2pm in Sacramento CA. Address is House Kitchen and Bar, 555 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA, 95814. ( www.houseoncapitol.com) All are welcome.
We will have another celebration in France in a few months (date to be determined) which we will announced on the website.
As Hubert always said, "Don’t forget to take a risk today!"

New to Horizons Unlimited?
New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!
Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
