RIP Sly Hands 1983-2017

The global rubber community is deeply saddened by the loss of MIR15 and shining community advocate, Sly Hands. Taken too soon, he will be deeply missed.

Vancouver Rubbermen (@vanrubbermen): Our condolences, thoughts & hugs to our Manchester brothers, Sly's friends & family. He made our lives & community better. He will be missed.

Sly: I'm glad I got to see you and talk to you only a few months ago in Manchester. The last we got to discuss was plans for IDOL Day last week. I am completely shocked by this news this morning. I hope all rubbermen the world over will embrace your legacy and push to expand our love of rubber even further! All my love to Alex, the core Manchester Rubbermen crew and all of Sly's friends in the UK.
