Condolences to the Red Wolf family on the loss of your family member.
My deepest sympathy to you Maurice Draszt Jr. (“BEAR”) on the loss of your long time friend and companion. And to the Gray Hawks, Brad, Maureen, Elisha, Bradley, Jared, & Tracey, and Tiny Draszt, as you were also his family. It extremely saddens me to know that you have suddenly gone away without a chance to say goodbye and everything happened the way it did, I know that that’s not what you would have wanted. But I pray you find peace my friend, my HAWKS buddy, my brother. Now you can be right on the sidelines at each and every game Eddie…..GO HAWKS!!!!
