    Default We lost one of our own yesterday

    He hasn't been active on spyderlovers for a while, probably due to his battle with cancer, but I'm sure many of you remember Erags, Ed Ragsdale. Ed lost his battle with cancer yesterday. Erags and his wife, DocRags, were likely to be found at Spyder rallies anywhere in the country. Rest in peace.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I met them at Lamont's BBQ after the last OE in Maggie Valley. Good people. My condolences to his family.

    I don't know him, but I hold a deep and furious hatred for cancer and a high level of compassion for it's victims. RIP Erags.

    Sorry to hear that.

    I saw one of his pics yesterday (the ones that randomly appear at the top of the forum page, and wondered what had happened to him. I knew he was ill.

    He & his wife roamed far on their Spyders a few years ago.

    Default So Long, Ed

    I will miss Ed more than you all can imagine. We chatted regularly on Skype, and Ed and Cheryl have been good friends. I spoke with Cheryl yesterday, and Ed passed quickly and comfortably following this latest setback. I'm sure he's in good company with our other departed SpyderLovers where he is now. Rest in peace, my friend.
