I just read the news about dratts. I had no idea he was ill. That is sad.
I liked him. He was always civil and kept an open mind.
RIP

Wow! It was only a month ago that he reported to the forum that he had cancer and had to sell his collection. My sincerest condolences to the family for their loss. It sounds like part of his legacy will be the collection of Fieros that he left his family with. The guy was only 72.

Donald Duane Ratts, 77
Donald Duane Ratts, 77, died on Sunday, Sept. 24, 2018, in Post Falls, Idaho. He was born in Pinehurst, Idaho to Herbert and Lillian Ratts on Jan. 22, 1941. He joined his older brother, Dave and was followed by his younger brother, Larry and his sister, Judy (Lagerquist).
Donald joined the U.S. Navy in 1958 and served until 1963; then he joined the Reserves. He married Janice Boley in 1963 and had four children, Becky Moore of Niece, Calif., Casey Ratts of Cobb Mountain, Calif., Robert Valentino of Petaluma, Calif., and Stephanie Johnson of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
He is survived by his brother, Larry Ratts; his four children; nine nieces and nephews; eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
A celebration of his life was held Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018.
“The world lost a true original early this morning. My mom’s brother and my Uncle Don lived life his way. To most on the outside it may have seemed like ‘What is this guy thinking?’ But I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile and the mischievous sparkle in his eyes. He was truly someone, no matter the differences in your beliefs, you knew he still cared about you and considered you a friend. No doubt you could always count on an interesting conversation in his company. I will miss him, as I know many others will as well. Thanks for the memories. Love you Uncle Don Ratts.” — Brian Lagerquist

So many familiar names in this thread, so many leaving us.
It awaits each and all of us but that doesn't make it any easier to bear.
Rest in peace each.

Still visit PFF occasionally, haven't checked this thread for awhile. Terribly bummed to read some of the names listed here.
RIP, Fiero Buddies (and spouses)
