You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted May 9, 2009 Ya gotta hate stuff like this. I will say, it's usually better for the family to be able to prepare for the loss of a loved one instead of a sudden death like I and so many others had to experience. Also, it seems he died peacefully. Good news indeed. Good man, good coach, hated coach by some, but good man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
