RIP to a Legend Moving

I keep going back and forth between extreme sadness and a slight chuckle. This obituary is filled with all of the corny humor we knew and loved Frog for. Eugene lost part of its heart.

It’s cool to see him in the news so much. He would be proud. Or maybe he’d just shrug it off. He wasn’t super sick or anything in the spring. Seemed like a normal market year. Frog was one of the first people I met at market. He was also in my booth every morning before I got there chillin on the bench. I never made him leave. We’d chat about Florida or our future travel plans.

He actually was pretty sick. He fell off his bike and hurt himself (maybe broke a hip?) and got COVID/ sick in the hospital. He was definitely fighting off illness for most of this year :(
