Topic: A past Contessa Owner Passed Away
Not sure if any of you knew, but Roger Myerscough, whom I bought my beloved Rhiannon (ex "L'Epice) #318 from, passed away a few months ago, in Victoria, B.C.
He had just retired about two years earlier, and was working on his Niagra 31 when he got cancer in his thumb, of all places. It then went quickly, and he succumbed to pneumonia.
He was also actively racing in a Martin 242 with another buddy "as young as he was", and he was enjoying his retirement before it was cruelly cut short.
I spoke to his wife and told her how much I admired him, as well as how much we all, on the website, enjoyed his stories...the grounding has to be the most "Roger".
Roger was a great guy...We will miss him.
