The bike was a birthday gift, and Moton, 9 or 10 at the time, said he wouldn’t have anything to do with it because it was from his father.
“I never accepted it,” Moton told the gathering at Croasdaile Country Club. “I always felt like if I ever rode that bike it would be me accepting him leaving, and I never did that.”
Years before the bike showed up adorned with a bow and a letter, Moton said his father had come home one day and asked everyone what they wanted from the store.
“He walked out the door, and we never saw him again,” Moton said. “I was abandoned by my father.”
