No matter what, he was a good coach and good guy. Awesome at Tulsa. Tough gig at Louisville. Parkinson’s sucks

Way too young, Parkinson’s can eat it

That's sad to hear.

Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.”

This hits home.... I'll be 59 next month, and my 58-year-old cousin passed away from early-onset dementia on Sunday. I know a lot of Card fans hated him for the way he flopped at UofL, but on a human level he was a really good guy. By the mercy of God may he rest in peace.

Had an aunt die from Parkinson's. What a cruel disease. RIP
