Hiya Brokies.
I'm coming here with sad news, and I'm trying to figure out the most gentle way to say this, especially since I don't have all the details yet.
I just got off the phone with Gene. For those of you who don't know, Gene is Rich's (LoneLeeB3) partner. There was an event this weekend that they were both attending, I believe it was a riding event.
Rich suffered a hard fall and blow to the head. He is currently on life-support. Gene is keeping him on life support until all of Rich's family can get to the hospital and say good-bye.
Miracles do happen, so prayers are appreciated, however, the general belief is that Rich will not survive past this afternoon.
Gene said he will call me with news as soon as he has it, and I will send it out to the Brokies.
I'm praying for you, Big Brother!
Update: As of 6:06 PM this evening 7/31/2010, Rich passed away. His partner Gene was with him, holding him.
