The family of Robert Samuel Suko has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Bob was born on 20 January 1936 in North Dakota and entered into Eternal Rest on 16 June 2017.
Bob honorably served his country in the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1954. Robert was shot during training by friendly fire and was honorably discharged as a Private.
Bob lived in Corona for thirty-two years and in Huntington Beach prior to that for fourteen years.
Bob owned and operated restaurants at Meadowlark Airport in Huntington Beach, the Corona Airport Café and Corona Depot and Grill until June 2017. Bob and Meta Suko were well known and loved in Corona.
Bob was a member of the Elks Lodge, American Legion and Chamber of Commerce.
Bob is survived by his wife Meta, daughters Tina and Tamara. He also leaves behind his sister Sally and three grandchildren.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.
The weather is predicted to be hot so please stay hydrated and don't forget to eat; it can make a difference with your ability to withstand the heat.

You do not have to be a Veteran or a motorcycle rider to attend this mission. Everyone is welcome. We encourage those who do not ride to attend in your car. If this will be your first mission go to the initial staging area and you will be briefed there by the R/C (Ride Captain). Dress for motorcycle riding or dress casually if you are driving a cage (car). Please feel free to attend any portion of this mission you can. Please ride/drive safely.
Please remember that our mission is to stand tall and silent, and with honor and respect for our Heroes. No talking, smoking, or cell phone use during the flag line or service. Please keep radios off and engine noise to a minimum. Observe the 15 MPH speed limit. Remember, cemeteries are hallowed ground. Show respect to all who are there, not just the ones we are honoring.
