So sorry to see this. Linwood was an amazing baker and part of our Blue Ridge family until it closed and we were all transferred and separated at the "big house" as we called UVAH, but we tried to stay in touch. Last time I saw Linwood was at his retirement gathering. Still fondly remember his baking skills and the wonderful pies and cakes he made for staff to purchase during the holidays. Plus he was a true Southern Gentleman.
