John Roebuck passing
Sad to report that John Robuck passed away. He a beloved official with the Golden Triangle chapter from the beginning. I had the pleasure of working with John my first year with the chapter. He officiated with a positive attitude and had a great sense of humor. He will certainly be missed by all.
