R.I.P Vern Ruhle

[Reds_fan_4_life]

Former Reds pitching coach Vern Ruhle died Saturday night at MD Anderson Hospital in Houston of complications from a donor stem cell transplant for the treatment of multiple myeloma. He was 55.
"The baseball and Cincinnati Reds families mourn the loss of an excellent coach, wonderful husband and loving father," the Reds said in a statement Sunday. "In his 35 years in professional and collegiate baseball, Vern touched many people inside and outside the game. We are privileged to have been a part of his life. He will be greatly missed."

Ruhle informed Reds players in the spring that he was diagnosed with cancer. For the upcoming season, Ruhle was to have worked as the Reds' rehabilitation coordinator at Cincinnati's minor-league complex in Sarasota, Fla.

RIP. We never really got the chance to really see what he can do, but I am sure he was an incredible man as well. It always sucks to learn someone has died.

Blessings go out to his family.
