Stiffy's Oldest Son Died Yesterday

thedad — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 17:36:54 -0000

I don't know how many of you know Chris Lozano, Stiffy on TigerBoard.com, but his brother Rich (Iam) posted this early this morning:

Stiffy's oldest son collapsed two days ago and was rushed to the emergency room. He passed away today. He was the kindest person I've ever known. He was 24.

I know many of us have met Chris and even probably his son (I know he came by the tailgate many of us used to frequent). There is a thread on The Shack at Tigerboard.

Hey, if it's April 22, it must be

Beef's birthday. Hey dude, hope you have a good one. We missed you at the game Saturday. The weather was crappy but the company was nice. Well, except our wet asses... but Dave tried to drink enough beer for us all. MT came by Merlin's too. Course Bill got there at the 11th hour but getting there is the important thing.

Did I hear you were busy becoming a multi-home owner? I guess that's a pretty good reason to be out, but that also means I gotta snag a job over there!

Baseball in the Lou

Anybody going to make the baseball game in StL Wednesday? I can't make that one due to a conflict with a daughters soccer schedule. But, I will be at the game on 4/28 in O'Fallon. If anyone wants to tailgate, I'd be interested in doing so. I'm not a real baseball nut, but do enjoy getting to a game or two every season.

Baseball in O'Fallon

Well, it's finaly here! I've been waiting for these two games to come to town so I don't have to drive all the way to COMO to watch a sport in the cold...

Well, it's finaly here! I've been waiting for these two games to come to town so I don't have to drive all the way to COMO to watch a sport in the cold... like last Saturday. Today's weather is supposed to be crappy so I'll just feel like I'm at the football game again without the large crowd or junky tent sale (where has all the good stuff gone?)

If you guys haven't been to the TR Hughes ball park yet it's worth the trip. It's a nice stadium for watching baseball and getting in and out is pretty easy. The 6:30 start is easy enough too. But the weather forecast for tonight is pretty bleak.

So maybe today's baseball game will be a good time to buy BEEF a beer for his birthday too? Happy birthday old man.
