Oh Lauren, you were a good buddy, example, hero for me and many. We were privileged to know and associate with you. What an imperfect yet saintly man. I will always treasure what you taught me---patience, philosophy, good sportsmanship, caring for family and so much more. I dreaded going to see you at the Alverno on that last Monday, but was uplifted by how you faced death and spoke with the same wit and caring that was your emblem. Your mind was perfect on that day. Rest peacefully in heaven. Hit 'em long, hit 'em straight, as always. Gary
