Not sure if folks have heard but long time member Larry Doby or Patrick Young if you were lucky enough to know him personally passed away on Nov. 24th. He was a big supporter for Oran High School athletics and small school sports in Southeast Missouri. His last Facebook post is below.

My last post via Jan's delivery:
This journey has been more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you to all who took the time and energy to read and comment on my passion for writing. To those that received the praises "you are welcome" to those that received criticism, "you are welcome"! Without either, I would have had no meat and potatoes to write about.
Cancer did not take me home my Lord in Heaven had my exit planned for the exact moment I met my Savior.

Wow, I hate to hear that although he is in a far better place after battling that disease. We are all at different points on the spectrum of that journey yet we toil on and seem to thrive on each others posts, good or bad, from our own perspective. I always enjoyed the informative and no nonsense posts of "Larry Doby". I didn't know him personally but I will miss him.

Never met the man, but certainly enjoyed his posts. Cancer sucks. God speed Patrick Young aka Larry Doby.

I agree with you 100%, Eagles, on everything you said.

I did get to meet him in person and talked to him several times at ballgames in this area. One of the good ole boys for sure.

R.I.P. my friend.
I got to know Patrick several years back at the final-four games in Columbia.
I have a nice old Oran tournament T-shirt he gave me. Larry loved the game of basketball and made many friends. He will be missed.
