I’m very sorry for your loss. I’ve known your family for a very short time, but it was obvious how close you all are. I will cherish my interactions with him. He went out of his way to speak to me at every event. I know he will watch over all of you and will never miss a game. This is a loss to our Pride family. Again I’m very sorry for your loss it was an honor to have met him. God Bless! Jerry
