Our Thoughts and Prayers to the family of Mr. Steve Krogler . Steve is forever in the memories of the many kids, including myself who he supported racing Bicycle Motocross (BMX) for Bike World of Warren. These were some of the best memories of our lives and he inspired us to always give our best and more importantly, enjoy the sport we loved and the times we shared with our BMX family. Those memories were a great influence in my life and today, I have encouraged my son to participate in this great family sport. Thanks Steve for all you have given us. Rest in peace….
