I have just learned that on New Year's Eve, RedBeard (Ryan) passed away after a long battle with medical problems. He was only 46 years old.
He enjoyed the forum, but wasn't able to participate much in the past several years. Although he would check up on us as a guest when he was able...
Received a message from Bill, his MIL passed away last night, I believe she had not been well for a while and was in hospitalised at the time. Consequently Bill will be off line for a while.
Our thoughts go out to the both of you Bill, let me know if there is anything we can do.
