It hurts to share that my friend passed about two weeks ago at Hartford Hospital, due to complications from his battle with leukemia.
I learned from not only him, but from also his friends and family, that he watched the Calhoun video multiple times a day whenever he needed a boost. In that video, Calhoun encouraged my friend to "win every day" as that was the mantra he lived by during his cancer treatment.
In his honor, I will be donating to the Husky Ticket Project, as, to me, this charity is the perfect blend of his UConn fandom and his lifelong passion of teaching and coaching students basketball.
