Sad news

As many may know, Jeff Proulx was on several of our Special Olympics teams in the past few years. I first met Jeff when he played on our golf teams and really enjoyed having him participate.

Last year, he had to scale back his involvement and this year was unable to participate.

Saturday, I received this e-mail from Stephanie Boe. (Jeff lived with Stephanie and her family in a foster home setting.)

I wanted you to know that Jeff Proulx passed away today, he had been

suffering with complications of Alzheimer's for about the past six

weeks. Recently he had been suffering with seizures which were non-

specific and thought to be caused by the alzheimer's. Jeff has been

in hospice for the past week and was kept very comfortable, his

family has been with him around the clock.

Although Stephanie thought an obituary with more details would be published today, I've not seen any more details. I'll add them to this announcement once more is known.

Edit: Jeff's obituary was just posted on the Pioneer Press's site -- click here for the link and more details.
