My dad. LSU graduate, football season ticket holder for over 50 years. Saw the Billy Cannon Halloween Run in person, experienced the 2019 miracle season and all the highs and lows in between. It had been a few years since he had been physically able to attend games, but he never missed one on TV. He was watching LSU baseball in his hospital room shortly before he died.

Sad for us, not for him. at 90 he had a good run and stayed sharp to the end, which was a blessing. He's together with my mom again, who he missed terribly. If he runs into Cholly Mac up there I know he'll be giving him an earful. I sure will miss him.

Sorry for your loss. My tiger brother. I lost my dad back in May of 2023. He was 89 years old. Lost my mom in 2006 when she was 70 and like your dad loved your mom. My dad loved my mom so dearly and missed her everyday. I certainly miss both my parents and will be so glad when we reunite in heaven. God rest wonderful father and peace in heaven. Prayers for you my brother. Hang in there

Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad last year around this time. It was gut wrenching not being able to watch the CWS with him even though I knew he was there. Was thankful he didn’t have to live through Brian Kelly’s final season.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your father. May he rest in peace.

My father passed back in '09. I really miss talking LSU football and baseball with him. The sad part is that he was a Saints fan since they entered the NFL - loved Archie Manning. He died in the fall of '09 and didn't get to see them win their only Super Bowl later that season.
