Hi guys; I don't post here so much anymore, but I still lurk frequently and think of all of you as family. A great friend of mine passed away Sunday of a massive heart attack, and he leaves behind a wife and three young sons. http://www.wlos.com/shared/newsroom/top_stories/wlos_vid_1714.shtml http://obituaries.citizen-times.com/obituaries/obit.php?id=58530 42 years old. Seemingly in excellent shape. Former standout collegiate athlete. Out hunting with his father Sunday morning and fell over dead... Brian and I both help coach an 8u travel baseball team here in Western NC. Needless to say, all the players, coaches, and families are shocked by his passing. Brian was an incredible coach and father-figure to all these boys. We are going as a team, in uniform, to the funeral service. Please keep Christy, Hunter (7) Coleman (5) and Walker (2) in your prayers. There is a fund set up for his boys: Brian Bryson Children's Scholarship Fund State Employees Credit Union P.O. Box 457 Sylva, NC 28779 It it's easier and you trust my word, you could donate to my Paypal account ( tthomas at oaksunlimited.com ) and I will assure you every nickle plus all I can spare will go straight to the fund. I've never been good at asking for things, but if even one dollar is donated to the boys' fund through this site, I will feel like the grovelling was warranted. Thanks.
