This is a page dedicated to members of the BrotherhoodMC who are no longer with us. You will find pictures, minibios, and eulogies written by fellow brothers.
Karl "Dog" Steinwachs
After meeting some members of the club, Karl realized that this was something he wanted to be part of.
More than one member could tell he was a righteous guy and invited him to start hanging around the club.
It wasn't long before he became a prospect and then a full patch holder.
He was originally known as dog face. Eventually shortened to Dog.
It didn't take him long to show his dedication to the club. One of the many things he was very instrumental in was the Brotherhood M.C. swap meet and was a huge part of its continued success.
Dog was an auto parts salesman and a great help whenever a brother needed something.
He was a dedicated brother and will be greatly missed.
He may be gone but will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Brother.
Nelson A. “Buddah” Liberti.
Nelson was a charter member of the Brotherhood MC Rochester, New York. January 1974. Nelson held the position of Sgt. At Arms as founding member. Nelson was a Great Brother and Friend who always had a smile and a big heart to all he loved. There never was a time in all his years that he was not there to help make the club successful at any of the events. With Brothers like Buddah the Brotherhood way of life still lives on today as it did when they formed the club. He will be missed by all that had a chance to share his life.

Dick was one of the Charter members of the Brotherhood MC. He was taken from us too soon in life. Dick was the type of Brother when ever you saw him he could put a smile on your face.

Jake was a longtime member, but not just a member he was a leader. In Jake's many years as a brother he held the positions of club representative and secretary but could have held any position. Not only did he excel as brother he excelled as a husband father and grandfather. If you knew Jake and you knew his family consider yourself lucky, because men like him are far and few between. There are plenty of stories for us to share at the clubhouse and we do and so should you, because it's the stories and memories that will keep him alive in our hearts and minds forever. Jake's contribution to the club will never be forgotten he was a major building block to our organization. Thank-you Jake for all you have done. Much love and respect BROTHERHOOD MC.
