That sucks. He's a class act.

:( My dad had Parkinson's. It's likely just a minor annoyance at this point but it does progress. There were times when my dad would have a difficult time holding a cup of coffee without it splashing out - even when he was on his meds. 46 seems pretty young to be diagnosed. Although I think Michael J. Fox was 30 or so when he was diagnosed.

Hate to hear this. His family has definitely been through a lot, with this now and the serious health problems that his wife has been battling also.

Very sad, Thought the guy was class act and good coach while at Tulsa.
