Ray Crothers, who won the Manchester Road Race in 1965, passed away last Thursday from melanoma. He was 65.
Crothers not only won Manchester, but was a category winner at the high school level and the masters level. Amby Burfoot, who won Manchester nine times, has posted a remembrance of Crothers on his blog at this link:

It’s a good read on a man worth remembering.
