[rabs_fan4life]

Can't help but wonder how on earth although only legendary to us here in Hog nation that you left out Paul Elles.  One of the hardest losses for many of us this year.  RIP Paul...we'll never forget you!

Bo Schellemberger...I Don't Know If I Sapelled the name right but he was the beloved coach of the Michigan Wolverines for a long time...I'm not sure of the birth date though...but he was a good man, coach, friend, mentor...to all who kenw him...R.I.P. Bo

I can't believe I left these off the list, but I got it from my brother-in-law, and they weren't on it.  Please pardon my faux pas.

That one still makes me so sad. 
Win was a really nice guy. My last visit with him was such a good one at the Pink Tomato Festival before I moved. He always made sure I saved him a spot in the tomato eating contest. I am wishing I had "fixed" his bag so he could have beat the Guv at least once. 
Some of the last pictures I have of him was with my daughter and one of us together. He was such an unpretentious guy and was a true joy to know.
Just sad......

Peter Norman-64

The third man in one of the most famous photos in sports(U.S. sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos's raising their gloved fist on the 200-meter medal stand in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics)played a key role in its origin. Carlos had forgotten his gloves; Norman, an Australian who won silver, suggested Smith wear one of his. Norman supported there Black power statement by wearing a badge during the medal ceremony and the three men remained close. Carlos and Smith traveled to Australia to serve as pall bearers at Norman funeral

Don't forget the woman that died in the accident that killed Paul Eels.  Her name was B.J. Burton and she may not have been as famous as he was but she was well known in her own right.  She was loved by all who met her and she left behind a husband and family that still grieves.  Thanks
