Thanks

That's it. Thank you so much.

One of my long time football officiating friends is on his death bed right now with pancreatic cancer. He only has a few days left at the most. We had a benefit dinner for him and I was thinking of sharing that poem. We've decided to make it an annual thing in his honor, raising money for cancer research. We raised about $3500.

His son is now my brother in law (I introduced him to my wife's sister.) They're really more like family than just friends. He officiated for 26 years and is well loved and respected by all the officials here in Utah.

Thanks again. I'll make sure I save it this time.
