He had spent a lifetime in the woods. At age fourteen he was doing a mans work, helping his family. He had worked in sawmills, drove a log skidder, hauled timber on a log truck, and hauled lumber and slabs for local mills. He had also drove a semi across country. Raggie enjoyed his travels but missed the time with his family. Through the years he had made many friends, many of whom he had either worked for or worked with.

The last year has been very hard physically for Raggie, he suffered so much. Now he is out of pain and at rest.
