AKGOBLUE97 died this morning
He died in his tree stand hunting in Ohio. He was my best friend. He was what you all call a Walmart Wolverine. He was my quarterback in High School. I played Center. The only man I ever let have hands near my butt. I went to my first game in 1969, we became friends in 1972. That's when he went to his first Michigan game with me and my parents. He became a Wolverine on that day. He went to CMU for college, I went to Michgian. He never graduated from college, opting to work in a factory instead. He had two beautiful children and I joined the Navy after graduation. He was with me at the Rose Bowl in 1989 when we won. and in 1990 when we lost in Bo's last game. He was the epitomy of a "Michigan Man" despite the fact that he married a fricking buckeye. He lived Michigan, his life's joy and sorrows were about Michigan. His children, adults now, are pure Michigan.
Tonight I do not have my friend and brother to talk to about the game. My text is empty, the void you cannot imagine.
We are All Wolverines. Be nice to your Brothers and Sisters, my friends. I am bleeding from my heart tonight, but it is Blue Blood. We all will be alright, and the future, the future looks great with Jim.at the helm.
Go Blue my Brothers. Rejoice in your common bond. It's Great to Be a Michigan Wolverine.

he passed away doing something he loved and not a lot of people can say that. i have sat many a day in a tree stand, quietly watching the natural world go by and there is a peace to that activity unlike most other endeavors.
God bless his family and his wonderful friends like you.

As a guy who also spent the morning in a deer stand, I can tell you there are few places I'd rather depart from. It's always tough on those of us left behind though. RIP
