Prayers for all will continue Tom. Our GOD knows how much and who “All” here need ‘em. AND for your wonderful daughters and their outstanding parents Coach. What blessings wonderful children and parents…..and friends are.
Sixty was so very too young to loose your nephew Tom. My baby brother turned 61 on 26/Feb., got up at 0630 on Sunday 27th, and dropped dead in his living room. Totally unexpected, sudden & without warning. Two sentences to his wife, who did CPR until Rescue arrived within minutes……but. He did get Covid 7 mos. ago and definitely was a long hauler with a constant cough that never improved. He was in L.E. for 7 years with a night patrol that included I-81 and then head County Animal Control for 31. Went on numerous crack house raids with the SWAT team, to go in first and secure the pit bulls as the guys didn’t want to get dog bit or kill dogs. The last # I remember him telling me was 19 trained guard dogs secured, 0 killed; & he was more proud of that zero # than about anything; other than his 2 girls and 7 grand babies. A decade ago I got to go along (previous training in past life)3 times. Damn proud of him in action.
His memorial had 4 different uniforms attending….lots of people.
He’d retired almost 2 years ago…..just in time for Covid to delay all our retirement plans to spend time together until this spring….nothing special, just lots of time.
I’ve loved him for 61 years and l’ll miss him.
