Kirk, Karen, Chanda and Cristy. What a beauty he was. Larger than life, LOUDER than Life.
From taking me to a 3 day JR Golf clinic at Muenster College when I was 12 or 13 (He thought I should probably stay there) to serving up some of Beth's legendary pies at the driving range / mini golf never without a free tip on how to improve my golf swing.
Then there were the times he came barrelling thru the bushes at the golf course and sliding sideways in his truck out onto the 3rd fairway to interrupt our after school football games. Yelling? but soon realizing that was just his indoor voice. You didn't want the outdoor voice. Knowing he was just doing his job to take care of the golf course, but also knowing he loved watching us do something active fully understanding we were going to meet again the very next day, same time same place. He usually gave us an hour head start as the game would be wrapping up soon anyway.
He was 1 of the best, He loved his community and loved seeing any kid out there taking up the game of golf. Johnny's game !
Thoughts and Prayers to you all. He's hard not to miss.
Terry
