i stand by the notion that the best indicator of what kind of person you were is the crowd at your funeral. now, don't get me wrong; i am not talking about famous people. i am talking about folks like this softball coach from beloit, wisc.
when you imagine the number of lives this man touched and read the story about his passing, it's humbling. there are so many fixtures in small communities across this country, like mr. splan, and they are tragically missed when they leave us.
as it turns out, this guy was from a city not too far from where i served in the military. that area of the country has a solid midwestern style and it's not surprising that this is where he came from. i have no idea what this man was like, but it seems he had zero detractors and was a treasure to his community. we should all be so lucky at the end of our lives, and we can be if we choose to make a positive difference every day.
