So sorry to hear this!!! My favorite food vendor on RAGBRAI ….Sorry for your lose..
I was introduced to Tender Toms my first year of 29 consecutive RAGBRAIs in 1989, it soon became my place to stop several times each year and even more so with the great fruit smoothies. I always took the time to promote the product and guided several friends to his place. More important was a ongoing relationship with LeRoy, including sharing one more smoothie while talking to him the last day of this years ride. Always enjoyed the conversations and I know I will miss him. Your RAGBRAI friend, Johann of Papillion, NE
