I found out that Eddie died a few days ago. Such horrible news. I actually was supposed to photograph a few units in the building that he lives on Wed. I was looking forward to seeing him.

Eddie was a very kind person. He always had time for a nice hello and a hug. After decades of messengering, Eddie continued to frequent all parts of SF. His heart belonged to his dear Lani, who passed away several years ago. Forever missed, Rest in Peace dear friend,

Love,

 

Carla

Galen is part of a great art show. And Dave has some pieces as well! Dave says, “They have a garden on the grounds and should be a lot of fun.”

Sarah Murder stopped by the other night and told me that she stumbled upon an exhibit at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts featuring SF Messengers photographs by Bill Daniel. She showed me her photos of the exhibit. They are lovely and some heartbreaking, as Markus Cook is included. The photos are enormous and apparently span most of the wall from floor to ceiling. The photographs were taken in 1989.

I asked Stephan Kizziah if he had seen them yet and he is heading there soon. He mentioned that he recalled that Bill Daniel also filmed a Russian River ride, as well.

Hello! Dogpaw here! I’m writing to invite you to a gathering of friends at the Bank of America where we will commemorate the 51st anniversary of a mural that I had a hand in back in 1974. There will be a premiere screening of the trailer for a mural doc that I’m also helping to produce. It’s a kinda strange 2 hr. moment that the bank is having from 6:30 to 8:30pm, this Thursday, Novemeber 20th @ the Bank of America Mission Branch @ 23rd & Mission St. They’ll have food & drinks as well. Not too many bike messengers out there that painted a 51 yr old mural for a bank in SF when they were 16. Sure hope that you can swing by though. 

Nov. 20th @ 630pm

2701 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The SFBMA was emailed by a Community friend.

Here is what he wrote, “I just got word that one of my good friends and old coworkers recently had a stroke and can hardly move his legs or talk. He used to messenger with TCB in SF then later used to ride with The Cut Cat’s here in Chicago.  

There a way to get this GFM posted to the San Fran BMA account so people can either donate or share the post?

Cheers.

So, I have posted this for Miguel. Wishing the Best for Ian and his friends and family!

I was very sorry to learn that. He truly rode all over town and could be seen everywhere. Here is his:
