‘“On behalf of the Sabre family and all his former teammates, friends, as being a guy that I’ve been in the community with now for 30 years, we lost a heck of a guy (Sunday),” said Head Coach Lindy Ruff. “He was a teammate, he was somebody I worked with as part of the coaching staff, somebody I played golf with. He was a great person. I think anybody that crossed his path would say the same. It’s tough when you lose anybody, and we lost a real good person today. It’s a tough one to take.”’
