(Apologies if this was posted and I missed it.)

Seems like he was very beloved by those who knew him.

If we all gave a little, they could get closer to sending his body home.

According to what police know so far, it appears Villatoro was riding his bike on the sidewalk along Route 355/South Frederick Avenue near Fulks Corner Avenue at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday when he ran into a commercial sign that had been placed on the sidewalk. He fell into the path of traffic on Route 355.

This is SO incredibly sad. This is why signs should not be placed on sidewalks or bike lanes. EVER. 😡
