A Sox fan died this afternoon

I have the only congregation in western Michigan and perhaps anywhere where every member has a Sox hat and shirt, courtesy of MBNA and their sign-ups at USCF. One member always wore his Sox hat; every time I went into the AFC home where he lived, his Sox cap was on the peg by the door. He never left home without it.

 

Today he turned 83. He also died. It was his time - I thought when I saw him Sunday we had a few more days, we were planning a special birthday Eucharist on Thursday because the hospice people were doing something today and the AFC home had tomorrow and I didn't want to over tire him, so I was planning on Thursday. But it was what it was and his suffering was very minimal. Thank you God for that.

 

He'd watch the Sox on tv and wear his hat, too.

 

Every Sunday I was absent from the congregation, the next time I saw him, Bob would say, "How'd the Sox do?" He knew the only thing that kept me from worship was my being at USCF.

 

He also was a big Michigan fan.

 

Next season and always after, I will so miss Bob saying, "How'd the Sox do?"
