Dang, talk about timing.  RIP Ralph.  The thought crosses my mind whenever I'm in the forested areas.  tree limbs give no warning.  Hopefully he did not suffer.  God bless and give his family the strength to make it through the next few weeks.

Yeah, Ken. The really weird thing that came to mind is that Ralph would not have been in the position for that tree limb to actually hit him on the head for more than a tiny fraction of a second... and yet it did.

When these kinds of things happen, it makes me step back and really think about how very PRECIOUS and tenuous life really is, and how quickly anyone's life can be snuffed out, without any notice whatsoever.

We all need to value every day that we are given on this Earth, and learn to truly appreciate the MANY blessings we have been given.

Now this is truly sad to hear about.   Really sorry to read something like this.  You just never know when it's your time I guess.

Thing is, I've been all trough the Blue Ridge and Appellation mountains when I lived in Atlanta from '85-2000.  Never saw or heard a tree fall in thousands of miles.  It really was a fluke.  Poor kid.  It's good the passenger is okay and wishing her a speedy recovery.

Aren't you near Buford?  Our home was in Snellville.  We did a lot of fishing near Buford on the south end of Lake Lenier.

Live each day as if it were the last...one never knows when that time will come.

Later,

I saw in the news about a motorcyclist killed a near Cades Cove, they had stopped to wait on the storm when the tree limb hit them on the head.  Did not realize it was Fraizer, of Fraizer HD.

Tragic and sad way to go.  RIP.

Woo  man,, this is sad.. .last summer  on a business trip to Atlanta our group visited his dealership to pick up T-Shirts..  I still have two I havent worn.   Condolences to his family and friends.

This past April, had a mechanical issue with my bike and stopped in to the dealership on my way from Florida to Michigan. It was pouring down rain and not only did they fix my bike, but as I waited the rain out, they took care of several other things. They couldn't have been more helpful. The owner sets that tone.

Very sorry to hear this and my prayers are with his family and friends.

RIP, what a shame, prayers for his friends and family
