Word came on Sunday that my friend Tom Battles had passed at a hospice in a Seattle suburb. Today, we talk about influencers, but long before social media, when ‘social’ was straight up and personal, Tommy influenced me in ways that continue to this day. At 15, I entered the gym at Franklin High School, the hoop dreams in my head ludicrously out of reach. Even the coaches joked I was so clumsy I could trip over the lines painted on the court. (They weren't wrong.) That didn’t phase Tommy. His goal was to win the city championship in our senior year. GIfted point guard and forward-thinker, he said he needed a horse like me under the boards to help the cause. He then more or less willed me to learn to jump, shoot, and defend. We worked on my jump shot. (‘Snap that wrist!) On driving to the bucket. (‘Fake right, go left. Use that left hand!) In 1968, we won Tommy's championship. We were co-captains by then, but there was zero doubt about who the team leader really was. It was Tommy all the way. We stayed in touch over the years. In 2005, I flew up to Kodiak, where he was living then, and we spent all day, every day, talking about the old days and where our lives had taken us. I tried to tell him how important the confidence he instilled in that gangling 15-year-old kid had been. He laughed and modestly shrugged it off. We talked about how he'd introduced me to the city game and managed to shake some of the social stiffness out of me. We both laughed. I hope everybody is lucky enough to have such an influencer, up close and in person, and not relegated to remote control. RIP, Tommy, old and cherished friend.

You may have seen the post on Marilyn's Facebook page. In case you didn't, here's what she asked to be posted. 

"I won a lot of battles but cancer won the war. It has been a wonderful life, full of love and joy.  I could not have asked for more.  Thanks for being part of it."

Marilyn wrote this prior to her passing and asked that it be posted after she passed.   She went peacefully this morning with her family near."

She planned well to prepare her family for her passing. Legally, she made sure all was in order to make things as easy as possible for her sons to work things out. This is so important!

Emotionally, she spent her final days making sure each of her loved ones knew they were loved.

I've attached a couple of pictures. The one with her and Steve is one of her favorites. Angela, her daughter-in-law has asked folks to send any photos they may have of Marilyn.

While there will not be a funeral, they plan to have an informal gathering to celebrate her life. It will probably be held at her home. I'll let you know more when I know more.

Douglas Foo Woo

JULY 10, 1950 – OCTOBER 2, 2019

Douglas Foo Woo was born on July 10th, 1950 in Seattle, Washington to Him Ah Woo and Tuey Moy. Doug grew up in the Beacon Hill area with his three Siblings, Sue, Faye and Eugene. He graduated from Franklin High School in the Rainer Valley in 1970, and later attended the University of Washington. On December 22nd, 1982, Doug helped welcome his daughter, Sarah Woo into the world. Doug enjoyed spending his weekends riding his motorcycle and watching the Husky Football in the fall. He was an avid collector of guns and loved sharing his knowledge with others. Doug will always be remembered for his love of food and feeding others, you could always find rice on his plate, no matter what time of day. Family looked forward to his famous pot roast and chicken divan that he made every Christmas. Doug passed away, surround by his loved ones on October 2nd, 2019. While Doug will be missed, he is reunited with his wife, Annie, daughter, Sarah and parents. He is free.

This information comes From Brian Lewis.    Noted the list was missing my good friend Norm Greenberg who died in 2013 of cancer. I visited him on the day he died, but he was in a coma - the usual note is "he died peacefully surrounded by friends and family. 
 

According to info provided by John MacLeod.

Daniel Rosumny died in 2013.  In school he was known as Danny Davalos as well as his brother David Davalos.  I am guessing there may have been an adoption in there and thus the discrepancy in the last name.  Danny was originally in the class of 67 but didn't graduate until 68 and thus became a member of our class.  I am guessing that David who was in our class dropped out and joined the service and later died from Agent Orange exposure.

I have very fond memories of sitting in Tom's basement senior year and listening to Simon and Garfunkel.  He will be greatly missed.
