bpwallace49 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) RIP Mr. John Winkle . . . . you will be missed. Â On Sunday evening one of my members just succumbed to esophogeal cancer. Great guy. You can always tell the measure of a man by how he treats others, particularly those who serve him. Mr. Winkle was an advocate for caddies, always had a kind word for bussers and kitchen employees. Â However my chef is doing much better and the cancer is aggressively REtreating . . . .

The Wolf Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thoughts and prayers sent. Shame how AIDS and the Komen foundation get all the hype. AIDS? Screw that...more cancer research is needed. Ever wonder why we study sharks? They don't get cancer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpwallace49 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 On a positive note the staff started planning a golf outing to raise money for his family (a freshman in high school, freshman in college and his wife) as they will have difficulties in the future. As long as the club doesnt LOSE money, the board agreed to let me do whatever. Â All staff has volunteered to work for free that day, I have over 6 grand in donated silent auction items( and rising), and we are donating all entry fees for golf to his family . . with over 80+ signed up so far. We expect to fill the whole event, which will be a huge burden off his family's shoulders . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
