Default Godspeed rwskaggs AKA the Tinman

It’s with a heavy heart that I must share that our good friend rwskaggs AKA the Tinman left this earthly world this morning. Ross’ infectious smile and jovial songs will be sorely missed by Mary and I and likely many of the AGF family. Godspeed my friend.

Oh man... Kathy and I are so sorry to hear this. I spent many hours talking to Ross and enjoying his sense of humor, especially in his music.

Ross was a mainstay at McJams for many years. He will be missed.

The man was one of the sweetest on Earth. I am so sad to know we won't be graced by his presence at McJam. Rest in peace Ross. We miss you!

I still remember Kurt's "disgust" the first time Ross played that at Open Mic. It became an annual event we all looked forward to. Well, all but Kurt!

It was all in good clean fun. I don't think Ross would have ever harmed a fly nor eaten at the Silver Moon.
