The football coach during most of my HS days is winding down his fight against stomach cancer. As one of his daughters said tonight, he's fought the good fight but cancer is winning the war.
Crusty cigar chewing guy with a crew cut, almost a stereotype of an era of HS coaches in some ways ... and yet he was never anything but fair with me in any dealing I had with him (generous & helpful even) and raised four of the most beautiful & graceful daughters anyone could have. Please keep him & his family in your thoughts & prayers as he transitions into hospice care.
Fuck cancer.
