My father, who was a Clemson man through and through, a lifetime donor to IPTAY and a member since 1976, passed to mesothelioma on January 20.
He is a season ticket holder for more than 40 years, and missed only a handful of home games in those years. I've been to GT, UGA, USC, and numerous bowl games with him. I knew every year that 7 Saturdays a year were going to be amazing with him.
He was a fantastic father, and an amazing grandfather to my daughter, and a very loving husband to my mom. He will be missed by everyone he ever came in contact with. I wish I could say more about him, but the words are hard to come by right now.
He is an amazing individual and couldn't have been a better father, grandpa, husband, or rep for Clemson. I don't know that I can go to anymore home games without him.
Thanks guys. Life is hard sometimes. Tell the ones close to you that you love them as much as you can.
I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created, and with them the animals,
The birds and the creatures that move along the ground, for I regret that I have made them.
