LEGENDARY NHL TOUGH GUY DEPARTS IN SIDECAR CASKET: R.I.P., BOB

Bob Probert, who played for Detroit in 1985-94 and the Chicago Blackhawks from 1995-2002, died suddenly in July, 2010, while boating on Lake St. Clair.  He was 45.  The casket carrying Probert arrived at the church on the sidecar of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, part of a procession of about 60 motorcycles — some owned by Probert — led by a police escort. The photo shows Bob Probert's casket leaving Windsor Christian Fellowship church on a motorcycle sidecar after a memorial service.
