Hexadecimal - one of our own

[Amazon]

Unfortunately on September 8th, we lost Hexadecimal, Vassa Floros, to an accident in Ireland.

She hasn't been active on here in a long while, but I know there are members who knew her and thought this would be an easy way to let them know.

She was an instructor with Sheridan/MTOhp, a long time BMA member, past organizer for the Brampton Toy Ride and my mom.

Though we had our issues and weren't close the last while, she was still one of the main driving forces that got me so in love with bikes. I'll miss her and the fact that we didn't reconcile.

Below are some photos. Please feel free to share photos and memories. I don't actually have anything from the last 10 years

Wow..RIP and my condolences.

 

[TwistedKestrel]

I think I might have met her on a GTAM group ride 20 years ago... rest in peace.

 

[GreyGhost]

Absolutely tragic. My deepest condolences.

Sry for your loss,

Let this play as a reminder to all and not let things in your relationships get so bad that they can’t be fixed.

 

[AllistonGT]

Very sorry for your loss.

 

[STARSHIP]

So sorry for your loss

 

[Glenn/RZ500]

I am truly sorry for your loss. Perhaps all of us learn something here, if we need to reconcile with someone we love over something that went sideways in our lives, just take care of it. In her memory.

Sorry for your loss, Amazon.

Sorry to hear, thanks for sharing!

Nice to see GTAM has brought people together, and there was a halloween party?

 

[Brian P]

Wow. My condolences. Thanks for sharing photos. I see several familiar faces there.

So sorry to hear. I lost my best bud somewhat suddenly this summer, and we'd fallen out of regular contact because he'd moved back to Newfoundland. So many regrets about all the times I put off calling because I was too busy, too tired, or just plain old distracted. Not the same, I know, but just to say I can understand the feeling of wishing you had time back to make things better.

Condolences, and I hope you can find peace in your memories...

My condolences. Met Vassa down at the gap totally randomly in 2019, neighbors for the week.

Sorry to hear of your loss Mel. I met your mom a few times and had a couple of conversations with her here.
May she R.I.P.

 

[Baggsy]

Sorry to hear that. R.I.P.
