At about 6:15PM on Friday May 11, 2007, Jim Sheffer, better known as Stroke, died of cancer. He was 42.Stroke was well known in a lot of hashing circles with his main haunts at the Tide Water Hash (Virginia Beach), Humping Hash (San Diego), and TBH3 (Tampa). He was among the first people that I met when I started with the running club. He's been doing this a long time and had great stories and a generally good demeanor. I got to first know him a bit at Bike Week 2005 when I drove his truck to Daytona Beach so he could ride his Harley. Even though I was very new and they didn't know me, I was invited to share in a hotel room.
He'll be missed by some I am sure.
