Uncle Ron Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hello All...I am in N. CA on watch over my father in the hospice...We are expecting his passing at any time now...It's been a long and valiant struggle against prostate cancer and now he is passing over to the other side...He has been a wonderful person and has been a football coach and mentor for literally thousands of young men in Oklahoma and California since 1945, many of whom have gone on to become leaders and statesmen...Best regards, Ron (PS...For those of you who have ordered maps, it may well be 10 days or more before I can get back and process them...)

Walker Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ron- My dad passed two days ago but your story makes me feel lucky: He was found Saturday morning with a smile on his face. Never sick a day in his life. But like you said, it is a sad time. As time marches on, things will get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Ron Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Guys...Thank you for all your good wishes...My Dad died at 5 AM PST today...In his 90th year...Folks are calling from all over the world...His students ranged from politicians, to Hollywood and Television executives, major business people, great educators, on and on...He was a great man and I will miss him greatly... Dawned on me that I knew him longer than any other person I knew on the planet...And as my coach, as well as my father, he sure made me run a lot of laps that helped me get scholarships that paid for my education...He was in horrendous pain and I'm so thankful he's passed over...Thanks again for your wishes, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
