Apologies for sidetracking this thread, but, this week has been a tough one. In the celebrity world, the loss of Norm McDonald and Willie Garson to Cancer (at 61 and 57 respectively). And closer to home, it is with heavy heart on behalf of our own player, Ben Johnson, I announce the passing of both of his parents, Ruth and Dave Johnson of St. Paul Park, due to that other C, Covid, this past Tuesday (his mom [who was for the past 12 years was like an aunt to me] succumbed at approximately 1 pm and his Dad [the ‘goofy but lovable uncle’] at approximately 9:30 pm the same day, at 59 and 58 respectively, if I’m not mistaken. Only 7 to 8 years my senior. I don’t believe Ben will see any responses on here, but, I will pass along any condolences.
To paraphrase Denis Leary, “F! Cancer! AND F! Covid!!!”
