So sad to hear of Cub's passing. Another of the 'good old' Vassar guys to leave our community.
I met Cub at the garbage dump last summer after the news of Lynn's sickness had come out and with tears in his eyes he said to me, "It hurts me so bad to learn that Lynn has this awful sickness!". What a great guy! I think that there had to be something wrong with anyone that couldn't get along with Cub! The last time I saw Cub I reminisced with him about the old days playing baseball when he would use the pick off sign to get the runner at second base. That was a wiggle of the brim of the baseball cap. We put many a base runners down at second with that sign and a usually accurate throw from Cub right over the bag. I also told him that I had a dream of him and me trying out for the Oakland A's and he just laughed and asked, "Did we make it?". A lot of good memories with him. I am writing this with a heavy heart for a friend that I will forever miss but at the same time knowing that he and some other ball players that come to mind are up in that happy place getting ball games going and playing to their hearts content. My most sincere condolences to Joyce, the kids, and the rest of the family and friends. Larry Prasek
