A moment for a fallen Dawg

[Northwest Louisiana T.A.G.]

Today we lost one of our faithful Louisiana Tech family members, Richard VanCleave, after a fatal accident in his home. Richard and his wife Martie have been lifelong supporters of Tech and were active members & supporters of TAG from day one. Richard sold more tickets to Tech & Tails than any other member year after year. And if you ever saw the stepping stones at Tech & Tails, know that Martie made them. My limited time with Richard over the past 7 years have focused around Tech but I can tell you he was a pleasure to know. A man always with a smile on his face and a willingness in his heart. A man Tech will miss. A man TAG will miss. A man I will miss.
We ask all to simply take a moment to pray for Richard's family in this time of loss.

Thank you,
TAG Board Members

While he didn't post much he was a active reader of BB&B for years and I am sure more than a few of you would know his screen name.
Admin, your help on this would be appreciated.

They are good friends of our family and he was a great man. He was always happy and upbeat and a great small business owner. He will be missed.

A great loss!

What happened?

[StrayDawg]

My understanding is that he had a pretty bad fall at his home and had serious head injuries. He was definitely an avid Tech supporter, and will be missed by many. When guys like this pass, it makes you wonder who will step up and take his place.

That's sad to hear. Is his screenname being kept secret?

[Dwayne From Minden]

No. Haven't had time to look it up. Doc or Jdubyadawg might remember it off the top of their heads.

Sad to hear this. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

It appears he was a "lurker" and reader and not a poster -

[PawDawg]

We plan to post the obit when it appears. Prayers for his family.

Very sad to hear this, and as I read about it I thought about how easily this could happen to any of us.

Anybody know what year he graduated?
