Life is Short

Yesterday we celebrated the life of our neighbor and friend who was killed a week ago in a tragic bike accident. Perry and LizAnn have boys in the same grade as ours and he hails from Wayne, America which brought a different bond to our friendship. 

We were fortunate to have Perry coach both of our boys in basketball and spend time with him over the years skiing, watching many kid sporting events together, celebrating his 50th birthday with a crushing Broncos loss to the Seahawks (but also celebrating the Broncos win with him against the Panthers) and attending their fabulous holiday parties. 

This is a horrific event under normal circumstances, but made even more terrible with the current environment. It was wonderful that the family was able to celebrate such a wonderful man in a socially responsible way. 

I will forever remember Perry for his calm demeanor, his love of basketball and his love of his family. He will be missed by many. Life is short. Make it Sweet.
