Loss of a Fan and a Father

I'm sorry to hear about your father Southpaw and jdlea. He sounded like a really cool dad. The Redskins and golf are two of my favorite things in life as well. May he R.I.P. Good luck with the golf tournament.

Guys i am really sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you guys.

My sincere condolences go out to you and your family. You'll be in my prayers. May God bless and keep you both.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your father. Hail to the Redskins.

My prayers go out to both of you and you family. I am terribly sorry for your loss.

The Golf Tournament will be annual and will be held on either Sept 1 (his birthday) or Labor Day (depending on what day I can get/weekends and things like that). However, the course it will be held on is not the best. It just happens that it was my father's "home course" if you will. I hesitate to call it his favorite, just the course he played most often. He and I shared many great rounds there and, while I worked there, a lot of free ones too.

The course is called Chesapeake Hills and is in Lusby, MD. I share more as the time approaches. I don't feel like I have the time to put the tourney together this year because I want to try to have a silent auction and some other things. Also, I'm totally unfamiliar as to what one should charge participants for this event. I'll probably sit down with some people from Chesapeake Hills in a little while (once my life calms down).

As for our father, I couldn't have said it better than Southpaw. He loved the Skins and he's the reason we're fans of the team. He's also part of the reason we're so negative about the team sometimes...lol. The team lost a great fan on Sunday and we lost a great man.


I am familiar with the course, I play there with my stepfather on the weekends. I know how it feels to lose your father at a young age. I lost mine one week after my first daughter was born. He died from a heart attack at age 39 and he never laid eyes on his grand daughter. I am truly sympathetic for you loss. I would be happy to support your cause and attend the annual golf tourny in Lusby.

Sorry for you loss. I hope your father is in a place were he'll continue to watch and appreciate his beloved Redskins.

I too have a Father that never used to freak out on the Redskins until after the end of Joe's first stint as coach. Somewhere NFL Sunday ticket came into the picture and I think this is what caused the problem.

When I was younger in Iowa we would be lucky to catch any Redskins games. Mostly we got the ones on Monday Night Football and that was it. So enter Sunday ticket and the former Cowboy Norv. For a long while there my Dad was convinced that this was a Benedict Arnold type situation.

Eventually my Mom would not watch the games with us, and I toughed it out.

Fast forward to present day. My dad still watches and has calmed down a little bit. I now have NFL Sunday ticket myself for the first time. I know from the few games I have watched the past few season that I am developing this wild side to the games.

I am glad to hear that other people were practically afraid of their Dad's on Game day, only to rejoin when screams of anger, returned to screams of joy.

I am sorry for your guys loss, and will be thinking of you on opening day.

As sons, we sometimes forget just how much of our father is in us. My condolences and best wishes go out to you.

I was talking to Justin today on IM and I also want to extend my sympathies and condolences to you as well.
