Paradise Gains Another

Rob Eubank (one of my star soccer players in the mid-80's @GHS) lost a courageous battle with colon cancer last Friday... All evidence points to the fact that Rob made the most of his 41 years on this earth...
...............................................Well done, Captain!...this from the obituary in Saturday's Charlotte Observer:
To truly honor Rob, he would want you to live the life he strived to live each day: to care about each person with whom you come in contact, to be a friend to children, to donate your bone marrow if you are a match, to make a person’s life better if you have the power to do so, to forgive easily, to make a choice each day to be positive, and to allow God to work through you. This is the gift Rob would like to leave to those he loved so much.

Thank you for honoring my brother. He lived the life we all strive to live. He leaves behind two boys that play soccer with the same passion and skill he had and a daughter that will most certainly leave her mark on the world. In the words of his adoring wife. "In the end it was his heart that kept beating strongly that allowed him to live longer than the medical team expected. The same heart that was large enough to allow him to love all of us, to care for us and to leave this world the better for his presence." Alicia
