Thank you for all the well wishes. He got into a car wreck yesterday morning. I still don't know exactly what all happened. He had one son and an ex-wife. His son is in his mid-30s. He pretty much kept to himself, but was one of the biggest Gopher hockey fans that I know. He kept telling me that this year's team was playing kind of like a Brooks team in that they skated really hard, never gave up, and could play with grit. His favorite player of all time was Neal Broten, and would constantly talk about the crazy goal he scored in 1979 against North Dakota. He had class, never referring to North Dakota as "sue", but always the "Sioux" and in return I vowed never to call Minnesota anything trashy (which I never will, it's low-class). He was a really good guy, and I'll miss his wisdom and knowledge of college hockey, especially from the 70's and early 80's. I'm sure he's getting his orientation packet in heaven right now, and I know he'll be looking down on the Gophers this weekend as they take on Sparty...waiting to do the rouser...
