Ram Raagas, blogger and commenter here on BMG, was killed this morning in a pedestrian truck accident on the Turnpike.
Sue Kennedy wrote on his facebook page, “He had a beautiful spirit, kind heart, and easy laugh. Ram was a dedicated Democrat who worked hard to elect progressives and spoke out about important issues. He will be missed!”
I don’t know more than was on the news. “A Framingham man is dead Tuesday after being hit by a tractor trailer on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Natick, according to State Police. The crash happened at about 3:10 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the Pike near the Route 30 exit. The victim was identified by State Police as Ramuel Raagas, 40, of Framingham. It was not clear why he was in the roadway.”

Ram was schizophrenic. With permission I am sharing the following comments that were posted to another group:
When I asked the author if it was appropriate to share his post, I received the following:
“He was open about his disabilities if asked. What is remarkable is what he did with them. ”
I hope some context will help. It is easy to speak of inclusiveness. We need to live it as well.

This is appropriate and appreciated.
Charley on the MTA says
at the Bertucci’s event a few months ago. He was a delight to read, ever good-humored, and indeed often (as might be expected) a bit oblique.
Thank you for the background Kate.
RIP Ram.
