R.I.P. Lou Brown - Dallas Donkeys

[51sDad]

This weekend has been a sad one for the world of sports. Dallas Donkey's good friend and coach Lou Brown passed away yesterday at the age of 70. I would like to send my condolences to Lou's family. I hope everyone can find time in their day to keep him in your prayers. For those of you who knew coach Brown, you know how great of a man he was and the impact his loss will have in our community. We will be playing in Greenville the weekend of August 14th in Lou's honor. We'll miss you skipper!

Lou asked me to post this before he passed. I just want you to know he was thinking of you all in the end!

Forgive my many faults, and the many pains I have caused you. How thoughtless and foolish I have often times been! How gladly would I wash out with my tears every little spot upon your happiness, and struggle with all the misfortune of this world, to shield you and my players from harm. But I cannot. I must watch you from the spirit land and hover near you, while you buffet the storms with your precious little freight, and wait with sad patience till we meet to part no more.
If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the garish day and in the darkest night – amidst your happiest scenes and gloomiest hours - always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath; or the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by.
Do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again.

Lou Brown
1940-2010

* The Dallas Donkeys will be playing in the Greenville Miken Tournament on August 14 in honor of Lou Brown.
