In memory of Roamin Angels' Members
who have passed on... gone but not forgotten.
Pete’s life was too short, only 21 years. But boy, did he have a flair for it! He grew up in a small town in the bay area called San Geronimo. He got his first ticket from the CHP when he was 12 years old! This was a result of him running a go-cart on the local roads. With the approval of his father, the judge “threw the book” at him. Trying to make an impression, no doubt, to prevent any further crazy acts like this. Well, it didn’t work. Pete was one of the original members of the Roamin Angels and it's second president.
Eddie was generous to his friends almost to a fault. He was the type of person that always reached for the dinner check. If you were in his neighborhood he would insist that you come to his house. Nothing was too good for his friends, and he had many.He is survived by his wife, Caroline. Arlie Hansen • 1916 - 2001 Arlie Hanson was an icon in the community with a heart as big as he was. He was a long time member of the Roamin’ Angels and drove a ‘53 blue and white Buick. He will be missed for his dry humor and wonderful generosity. His daughter and son-in-law Sue and Larry. [TOP]
Mike and his wife, Lynn, were longtime members of
the Roamin Angels Car Club of Grass Valley, and as members they
enjoyed many cross country rod runs and car shows with their fellow
hot rodding buddies. Mike had just completed a three year elected
board position with the club where he had made many positive contributions
including spearheading the ZZ4 Raffle and Scholarship Fund and
steering the club toward the Roamin Angels Annual Car Show. |

The lifelong resident of the Sacramento area and middle child of five, Mr. Dent was born Oct. 12, 1956, in Roseville, and graduated from Bella Vista High School. Coming from an extremely close family, Mr. Dent's favorite pastime at family gatherings was being the family's practical joker. Jim provided endless hours of entertainment with his tall tales from his "many lives lived before." He would often begin his stories by saying "when I was a submarine captain" or "when I worked on the U boat during World War II." He also played many tricks on his young great-niece. A man of his hands, Mr. Dent spent most of his working life in construction and recently started his own company, Northern Sierra Homes, which built homes in the eastern Sacramento area. A carpenter, he had a love for woodworking, constructing many priceless wood boxes and clocks throughout his lifetime. Jim had an immense passion for cars. Before his death, he was busy constructing a garage to house his two Mustangs, his 1940 Ford and 1957 Thunderbird. His membership in the Northern California Cruisers and Roamin Angels Car Clubs brought him many years of joy. Although cars won much of Jim’s affection,
his devotion was first and foremost to the people around him.
Giving all of himself whenever anyone needed anything, Jim affected
the many lives of his family and friends. Jim spent most of his
working life in construction, and recently started his own company
Northern Sierra Homes building homes in the Eastern Sacramento
area. Jim is survived by his wife, Lydia Mayberry; son, James
Jr., and a large family who will miss him very much.
