Coach Simpson passes away

Mark Simpson, the golf coach for the University of Colorado (1977-2005) passed away last night. I received an e-mail from a dear friend and mentor, Jerry Gibson today at 7:20 GMT. Mon, 5 Dec 2005 14:20:29 EST

Dear Mike, I just learned Mark Simpson went to be with Jesus last night. Love Ya. Jerry Gibson I Thess. 4:13ff;Psalms 30:5,11

Coach was an excellent man. He impacted so many through the years. I am grieved to know he has died but rejoice to know he's in a better place. We send our love and prayers to his family.

Here is a link to an article written by a journalist for the Denver Post days before he passed away.
