Jill, and Family,
I just heard from Crone, prior to seeing this Post/article. I am so very, very sorry to hear such News. It’s almost unbelievable, that the kids we Coached and knew so well, are passing before us. You and Brian have always been more like Family to me, and my kids, and the shock of losing one of you, is almost more than this old man can stand. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your entire Family. I am so very Sorry, Jill.

I don’t have the right words to say but then I am not sure there are any right words. You lost an amazing man who taught me so many things over the years. I was lucky enough to have him for a cousin and friend. I will miss his laugh and smile. Love to you all and I am thinking of you. Tracy
