CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Fifty-five year old Johnny Esposito just left the wake of a fellow motorcyclist, when he was hit and killed at the intersection of Villaview and Grovewood in Cleveland.

Police say Esposito was driving his Harley Davidson Motorcycle, heading northeast, when he collided with a red Buick Century. The Harley flipped, landing partially on top of Esposito, killing him.

What makes Esposito's death even harder for his family and friends, is the fact that whoever was driving the red Buick Century, just took off.

"Even a dog didn't deserve that cause Johnny was so well liked, you couldn't believe how many people liked him," said Jean Esposito, Johnny's mother. Johnny, as his family and friends called him, loved motorcyles, and was the owner of Dreamcycles in Cleveland. He was also a great artist, who loved music, and kids.

The viewing for Johnny Esposito is scheduled for Tuesday from 2-8 p.m. at Brickman Bros. Funeral Home, 37433, Euclid Ave. in Willoughby. His funeral will take place Wednesday at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Wickliffe at 10 a.m.

If you have any information on the driver of the Red Buick Century that hit Esposito around 10:30 Thursday night, please call Cleveland Police.
