On Sunday, 77-year-old Joe Vlach was killed in a cyclist accident just outside Poulsbo.
He was hit by a car near the intersection of State Route 308 and State Route 3 in Kitsap County.
“Last night I sat in this chair and I watched the driveway, waited for my dad to drive in on his bike,” said Vlach’s son, Scott on Tuesday.
According to the Washington State Patrol, initial signs indicate Vlach failed to yield at a stop sign before being hit.
Vlach, a Poulsbo resident, has volunteered for the Poulsbo Fire Department for the last 33 years.
