I ran across this info from The Leavenworth (Kansas) Times about Dennis McKinney, who was killed last Monday while riding his motorized bike on Congress. Police reports have indicated the trolley tracks caused him to fall in front of the vehicle that struck and killed him.

Dennis Mckinney, 57, born 8/12/52 in Medford,Oregon died in a bicycle accident in Tucson, Arizona on July 5.  He was the son of the late Joseph and Elizabeth Mckinney.  He was preceded in death by his sister Marianne who he helped care for during the last few months of her life. Dennis had made Tucson his home for the past 8 months.

He is survived by his children Shannon, Oceanside, California, Nikki Ohio and Sean of California. He is also survived by his brothers and sisters Joe[Sharon] Topeka, Mick[Carol] Summerfield Florida, Jeanne Keiser]Bill] Sterling Colorado, Terry[Bertha] Atchison, Pat[Karen], Tim and Kathy Beavers [James] of Tucson, Arizona, Peg of Orlando Florida, Peter of Indiana and Sean of Leavenworth, Kansas.  He is also survived by his many lifelong friends in Leavenworth.

A memorial service will be held in Leavenworth at a later date.
