Friends:

Our coach, Monte Zucker, passed away a few minutes ago. His presence has been sorely missed these past few weeks. Only recently have I begun to really comprehend the enormity of his contribution. I know all of us are so grateful he is no longer suffering and has entered into a better place. He was--and always will be--our coach, a mentor, a father-figure, an inspiration, and a friend.

Thank-you to everyone who has given words of encouragement, prayers, and support during this time. Monte appreciated every one of you for your love. Monte always just wanted to be loved. I hope he is now able to fully comprehend just how much he IS loved!!

I believe the greatest tribute to Monte is to carry on his message and to inspire others we know with our own passion and enthusiasm. Let your talents inspire others the way his inspired all of us.

I miss you, Monte.

Jeff
