I met Linnaeus ( Dusty ) Walton about 35 years ago when he was touring North America on motorcycle. He was in St. John's, Newfoundland, where I was a Police Officer. He was staying at a local hotel, however, I brought him home to meet my family. He stayed for 10 days and the friendship was formed. When he left to go back to the U.S. I called in sick and we rode our bikes across the island together. He returned to Newfoundland several times after that and we continued to stay in touch via e-mail, Facebook, etc. I was shocked to hear of his passing. He was very good to my children when they were young and I will be forever grateful for that. He will be missed.
