Late last month, Past Club Champion and Tournament Winner Steve Fleming passed away. He was only 61 years old and had been retired from the Teamsters for less than 6 years. You may remember Steve as the large, tall, easy going African American that I introduced to the Daddy Longball gang through working at the Mercury News.
Steve fought prostate cancer for the last few years of his life, so he only got in a few years of retirement and thrice weekly golf playing. There's a couple of lessons here to be learned.
1) Get your PSA checked and take the gloved finger of death. It isn't fun, but neither is cancer.
2) Retire as soon as you can.
3) Enjoy every day of your life as best you can.
Steve was a great guy to golf with and he'll be missed at Daddy Longball.
