That article by Frank/Brad is amazing.
You can tell Brad was a true friend, Frank said that the entire community is basically flying into Calgary for his service today.

Dozens of GM's and coaches, league guys too.

Truly inspiring.

Great article. You can really tell how important Snowy was to Brad and how close Brad was to the Snow family through all of this. Kudos to Brad for supporting them and for sharing this candid article with us. Chris is such an inspiration.

He was only a year older than I am. Makes you stop and think. He did so much with his life, and even after he was diagnosed, he kept going strong.

Tre is a great friend and I'm sure brought a lot of comfort to the Snow family. After reading the article it just amazes me how persistent, dedicated and inspirational Chris was. What an amazing human being. My heart breaks for his family but it's nice to know that he is free from that awful disease and is finally at rest.

What a great read. Gut wrenching about ALS being the elephant in the room for him even before he was diagnosed and when Treliving discusses him dropping the weight in the gym.

Tre speaking right now. The volume is incredibly low, hard to hear.

Yeah, I tried watching it while I work but with the crappy built in speakers on my work computer I can't hear anything.

I knew I'd be cutting onions as soon as I started watching this. Tre is a great speaker.

I'm at home on headphones and it wasn't bad. I imagine PC speakers wouldn't be too great though.

Nice words from Tre. Unsure who that was before him as I came in near the end of it but he was really well-spoken as well.

RIP Snowy.
