I received a call at 5:00am to tell me a good friend Passed away earlier this am.
His name was Jerry Briggs and he was 75 years YOUNG. We barrel raced together here in RI for the 4 years I did that. He was a funny little dude and folks either liked him or NOT. But over the years his wife, Lorna and I became friends.
About 18 months ago, right after our State Championships of which he won like 3 divisions he had a massive stroke. The last months have been difficult for all involved and Lorna had him at home and took TOTAL care of him.
Last week he had to have part of his left leg removed and seemed to be doing pretty well considering what all he had been through.
But, he had come through so much and was riding again and looking forward to this running season, if even just to watch.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Lorna and the family.
RIP My Friend.
