Former friends and teammates, John Carney and George Farnworth, passed away recently. May they Rest in Peace. Gerry Elias, who underwent triple heart bypass surgery about a week ago, remains hospitalized at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. We wish him a speedy recovery.

John Carney died the night before his 86th Birthday,which would have been January 10. American Legion Post 271 of Tequesta is scheduled to hold a memorial service for John during its meeting tomorrow (Saturday, January 29).John had served in the Marine Corps and was a member of the Legion's Honor Guard. Post 271 Commander Bob Jaegers, said John mentioned the senior softball program frequently, as well s his boxing experiences and friendships.

George Farnworth passed away Dec. 15 six weeks after the death of his wife Mel last Nov. 3. "He died peacefully," said his son Greg. "He loved softball and loved you guys."

Mike:

Is it possible to include George and John on the "In Memorium" page?

There are many of our friends we have lost in the last several years and we should include as many as possible if we are going to have that page.

As an example Ron Barfield who was a loyal and dedicated JSSA member for many years. Skill should not be a requirement, only love and enjoyment of the game.
