Guys can you help out a fellow Tiger with a prayer request
Dec 15, 2014, 10:03 PM

I don't post a lot of personal stuff here, but it is time to circle the wagons.
My Dad played for Frank Howard in the late 50's including the Astro Blue Bonnet Bowl and the 1959 Sugar Bowl.
He is "a Clemson man that needs no introduction". Clemson has been a huge part of our families life forever. My older sister was born while he was a player at Clemson and they were living in the duplexes (married student housing).
There are so many stories I could relay. He retired to Lake Murray, and eventually moved to Pendleton, where he and a lot of other old timers seem to migrate. He is the Epiphany of a Clemson man. He has battled multiple heart attacks , at least two bouts of cancer, and a very rare blood disorder (Polycythemia vera). He has fought everyone of these health problems with the same fervor that he approached football, parenting, being a good neighbor, walking in his faith , and enjoying life.
He still goes to Dabo's Tuesday press conferences with some of the other old timers when his health allows, and then he and the other old guys hold court over lunch afterwards at a local restaurant.
The last few years have been tough as they have lost friends and struggled to be able to enjoy all that goes on in and around Clemson. Dad has just about lost his vision , which has really added to a state of depression. Way too many of us take things for granted , and by doing so miss so much enjoyment.
Dad was taken by ambulance tonight , from pendleton to An Med in Anderson. I am way out in Scottsdale, my younger brother is on a business trip in California , and my sister is in West Virgina. Don't misunderstand, they are surrounded by their Church and Clemson family and are in good hands. Every time I have seen a prayer request on here, I have paused and thrown one up! I want some prayers returned for my Dad tonight! He is tired, he is sick and he needs some prayers of encouragement.
Prayers are really appreciated, and I know prayer works! Please pray for him and my mom as she tries to keep things, keeping on.
Take a minute and say a prayer or two for "Jack "Buffalo" Smith" and Judy Smith tonight(#71 defensive tackle).
He was and is a big part of what makes Clemson a special place.If any locals bump in to Dabo let him know an ex player needs a bit of a pep talk aimed at getting Dad positive and focusing on fighting fighting another battle.
Thx - Esso

Prayer delivered, and he was called by name, along with your Mother. I pray for comfort an peace and a healing hand if it is God's will, and a peaceful time, for all of you, no matter what lies in store. You are a great son to ask for this for him. Very special, and I know he and your Mom are proud of you. May God bless y'all at this Christmas time.

Esso2,
I knew your Parents very well and your father is a true Clemson man. We went church with them in Columbia, but lost touch after we moved to Lexington. I will keep Jack and Judy in my prayers. If you would, Tmail their contact info.

Well I am a Gamecock and a Catholic but I believe Jesus will still listen. As Catholics we believe that when prayers are spoken they are carried to Jesus' ear by the Saints and the Angels and the more a specific prayer is spoken the more times a Saint will carry that specific prayer Him.
It is in accordance with my beliefs and the Catholic tradition that I respectfully offer this prayer for Jack:
God our Father, I thank you for the gift that Jack was the Clemson football and to the gift that he and his family continue being to the University, its great family and it's athletes. I ask that You would pour out Your blessings and mercy upon him and the Smith family, especially as he fights through his most recent health issue. We pray first for the doctors that they will do their job effectively and that you, the Divine Healer, would accompany them in their work by placing your hand of healing upon Jack. We believe that You can and do heal today, and so we ask for perfect healing and grace for Jack.
We pray also that “the peace that transcends all understanding” (Philippians 4:7) would envelop the Smith family, especially Esso and his brother and sister, that they would know of Your presence all those miles away and be confident in the plans You have for their father, them individually and as a family.
Blessed Mother, I ask that you would join us in our prayers and reveal unto the Smith's the power of your intercession before your Son. May you embrace them in your maternal embrace and present their needs always to Jesus.
We pray all these things through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, in the power of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.

No problem. When I was in Korea my 12 month old daughter had to have surgery and I was 16 hours and half a world away. They didn't even put the Dr on the phone to talk with me they put a Chaplin who advised me to use my flight home to prepair myself for never seeing her alive again so I know how are it is to be away at a time like this. Short story long we spent a sleepless week in the PICU at Portsmouth Naval Hospital and then another 10 days in the Peds unit. But she is alive and well now and living proof in the power of prayer. I hope your results are similar.

Prayers for your Family from the Wrights. I know when my Dad, Class of 1941, passed away six years ago yesterday, all of TNet had our family in thoughts and prayers for us. Many have never met personally, but we know the measure of them because of their love of Clemson and their classmates.
My prayer is that God gives all of you peace and your Dad the strength to recover.

I do not know your dad personally but knew of him as I was in school at the same time and was in Houston for the bowl game. It will be a honor to say a prayer for your dad tonight.

Prayers sent. I can especially relate to the vision issues as I am recovering from eye surgery and have had some complications, but getting better everyday. It can be frustrating.
Give our regards to your dad and your family.

thanks I think the vision thing has been a real kick in the shin for dad, he has been so positive for sol long and having so much trouble seeing has been tough. He is a very proudand strong man. There are not enough like him! thx again MOM & DAD are overwhelmed by the prayers and caring . So are my brother and sister.

I have not been on Tigernet for a few days, so I missed this request. Please know that your dad and your entire family will be in my prayers. Your post certainly conveys the love you have for your dad. He sounds like a wonderful person and a true Tiger fan! On a side note, I recall my late dad talking about going to the 1959 Sugar Bowl and referring to their uniforms as their "sugar blues". I believe that was because the orange would not show up on black and white TV. I hope that your family can feel God's loving hands as He embraces you with His all powerful love.

Thanks so much, yep the orange woud not give enough contrast to white on black and white TVs. Not sure who was put in charge , but someone went to a local sporting goods store to buy dark blue jerseys. Dad has his somewhere. I am sure that I have some details wrong. But I have heard dad tell the story a hundred times , if once!
Thank you all for tge thougts and prayers,
