Request for Prayers
« on: August 11, 2014, 11:06:24 AM »
I feel very strange posting on here to people that I really only my screen name but felt the need to reach out to the Scoop family. A few of you I either know in real life or have spoken to on the phone or met for a beer and others just by your posts. The prayer request is for the loss of my brother in law and dear friend over the weekend while competing in bike race. He leaves behind two young sons and a fantastic wife. My brother in law and his family have long, long MU ties and this is a loss for anyone that knew him. Please remember his family, my wife, her siblings and her Mom in your prayers.

In addition, I want to add another side note that shows the greatness of Marquette University and what it really means to me. My daughter plays on the Marquette Women's soccer team and I went to get her from mini camp this morning and tell her the news. The outpouring of love shown by the team and coaching staff touched me beyond belief. The Women's soccer program and entire place is a special place.

Again, I feel uncomfortable posting this but in a weird way makes the pain a little less.

You are a good man. Still remember your post regarding my Dad passing away. Too soon the sun sets in the west.

Keefe,

My in laws are your kind of people completely. High IQ, world travels and adventure seekers. Quick cool story, about five years ago my father in law and another brother both happened to be Kenya the same week on unrelated business trips. At last family reunion they had one son fly in from Indonesia, a daughter from London and father in law from Jordan. Very interesting be a small part of a great family.

Not sure if I got back to you but Lyle lit up when I mentioned your family to him. He said he really enjoyed working with the whole team. Lyle said when your dad gave his word it was rock solid - a rarity in today's business world.

Very nice to hear that about my Dad. He was a Hall of Famer type guy and knew how to work a crowd.

All the best Goose.  It sounds like you have a great family and hopefully everyone's love and support will pull you through this together.  God bless.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.  And let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen.

Thanks, Doc. There are a ton of great memories that we shared. The tough part is the two little sons.
