    Gordie Howe - aka Mr. Hockey

    Legendary hockey star Gordie Howe passed away this morning at the age of 88. http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/06/10/...f:nbcnews:text

    As a youth I had the privilege of attending his hockey school - he taught me how to skate and shoot the puck and filled my 7 year old self with confidence. Gordie was one of the nicest people on the planet, what all sports stars should hope to be. He signed every autograph and shook everybody's hand. He went out of his way to make you feel special! R.I.P.

    I watched an interview with him, a real gentleman. One hell of a player, the best. RIP Sir.
    Today you could be standing next to someone who is trying their best not to fall apart. So whatever you do today, do it with kindness.

    For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

    What's so good about goodbye, when the best was yet to come?

    Like the story how when Wayne Gretzky was in the NHL
    he asked for number 9 of his team, but taken.
    So that is why he is 99.
    Carolyn(1958-2009) always in my heart.
