Re: Saints lose a great fan today.
 

Although I’ve been preparing myself for it for a while, now, it doesn’t make it any easier to revisit this thread, but I need to unfortunately.

My father passed away last night, and so now the Saints have lost another original great fan. He was 90. Although I wasn’t able to be at his side, he was surrounded by my sister and his grandchildren and passed peacefully in his bed. I guess that’s as much as any of us can ask for. Sorry again to clog a Saints board with my own personal grief, but I’m hoping sharing with other Saints fans here will help start the healing process just like it did when I posted about my mother passing.

My father was an honorable man who was born on a small farm in dustbowl Oaklahoma with 7 siblings and moved to Louisiana as a kid. He used to tell stories about selling lemonade in the stands of LSU games when he was a boy. He started to go to McNeese on a baseball scholarship after high school, but ended up serving in the Air Force over in Korea during the war. He returned home, met my mom and began a career working in refineries in Baton Rouge. He loved LSU, the Saints, baseball and golf (as well as his family) fiercely. I fondly remember him taking the family to watch Pete Maravich play. I consider it a blessing that on his last weekend on earth he got to see both the Tigers and the Saints win one last time. Hopefully it’s a sign of divine things to come this season. I know he thoroughly enjoyed watching LSU win the World Series this year in baseball.

Sorry for the selfish rant everyone. I realize we all have hardships in our lives to deal with. God bless and best wishes to everyone.

Sorry Boston. If posting here alleviates pain or suffering then by all means, let out some sadness. I hope you can heal quickly, brother.

Sorry for your loss!

I lost my wife of 20 years July 4th last year to lung cancer; there hasn't been a day since then that I haven't cried.

I have always wondered what happened in Heaven that day that God needed my Angel to fix it?
