Thanks

to George "Yummy" Carr    VROC 2850

Tonight we lost a great person, who over the past year went through a lot of pain and misery. No matter how much suffering he was in he always brought a smile and laughter to everyone who knew him. He fought a tough battle. He Truly will be Missed.


May He Ride Long and Hard with the Wind At His Back

R.I.P. " HOOKER "

For some background:  Greg had quadruple bypass and three valve replacements in his heart in early February.  He had been off work for over a year with blood clot problems in his legs.  After the surgery he was able to go home for a short time but was on dialysis three times a week.  He then developed MRSA and was taken to a local hospital then Life-Flighted to another facility over last weekend.  Tonight he was removed from life support and peacefully went home.  He leaves behind four children and the love and support from the Steel City VROC Gang.
