Senior Member Jotronic Posted January 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 Many of you were not around here a few years ago but there was a patient of ours named "Rugger" that was a regular contributor on this forum. This past week Rugger passed away from a heart attack. Rugger had a couple of procedures with Dr. Wong and he was very passionate about helping others both online and in person. This reflected the type of person he was in general as he was very giving of his time and energies to help others when in need. Rugger had a "special" way of getting his point across on the forums as a few of you may remember but everyone that knew Rugger would agree that he was one of the good guys and was a uniquely special and kind individual. Rugger was a great friend of Hasson & Wong and we will miss him a lot. Rest in Peace old friend. The Truth is in The Results Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member phil mascallpen Posted January 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 A very sad day indeed Joe. I had a few beers with Rugger and Mike Firko when I was researching clinics. He was an incredibly nice guy and went out of his way to answer any questions I had. RIP Rugger.

Senior Member Bushy Posted January 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 Very sad. Rugger was such a funny, passionate and good-natured guy. Met him several times and always loved his sharp-witted banter. Rest in peace, friend. ____________________________________ My blog.

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Joe, This is sad news indeed. And he looks far too young to have his life abruptly end. I wish I could say I remember Rugger, but I think he stopped posting before my time here. That said, I'm sure he was a great guy and an avid supporter and advocate for patients. I'm sure he will be missed by his family, friends, and the entire hair loss community. My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who knew him. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
