Red Stick Sports longtime manager passed away

He was the owner, not just a manager. I'm pretty sure it was a family business that he took over at some point. I actually knew him many years ago in the late 90's and early 00's. He was one of the nicest guys. Way too young. I have some friends who were still close with him who are devastated...

Terrible to hear. Feel bad for him and his family.

Unfortunately you are probably correct. Brian was always a big guy. His nickname was actually "Tiny".

I was heading in this direction, but I was diagnosed with prediabetes at 39 and lost 70 pounds and stopped drinking, started exercising, cut out fast food, etc.

I am now much healthier at 50 than I was in my 30's....

yeah a lot of childhood memories there...doesn't sound like he was married or had kids, what's going to happen to the store?

got many of my childhood tennis shoes and cleats from there, first set of football pads for bob morgan football

unfortunately, yeah.

Damn. Played golf with him a few times. Good dude.
