Yesterday morning, I received a phone call from my friend's phone. I thought he was calling me to wish me a Merry Christmas. However, it was his daughter on the phone. I got that sinking feeling that was confirmed when she told me he had passed away a few hours earlier.
Russ Granados was not a member of RSS or any other chat board. However, he was an avid fan who watched Husker football, basketball, baseball, volleyball or any other sport that he could find on television. He didn't care if it was men or women; he wanted to cheer on his beloved Huskers. He would text me scores during the day while I was at work so I could be kept apprised of the scores.
Russ and his wife, Vicky, were long time attendees of every football game at Danny K's Pub and Grill in Anaheim, California. They were always the first ones to arrive and the last to leave. A few years ago, he informed us he wouldn't be coming in anymore because he was battling a lung condition that was making it difficult to get around. However, every Saturday, we texted back and forth during the game. He still wanted to be with us at the bar to watch the game.
He was a good man... a simple guy who loved his family and the Huskers. The world was a better place because of his goodness. This is a terrible thing to happen this time of year, but it seems to be such a common occurrence.
I'm asking everyone to say a prayer for Russ and his family. RIP Russ... say hello to the Bobfather and all the Husker fans while you are drinking a beer and cheering on our beloved team.
