This is great article on ESPN about a friend of mine who died young. I'll be playing in his benefit scramble today, and we'll all be saluting our absent friend, as well as raising money for his young family left in ruins after his untimely passing.
This story gives us a reminder of just how frail life is. If you feel so moved, a donation to his foundation would be welcome. Jim was a really nice man, and all of us who knew him, miss him.
