Earl Woods Dies

Tiger Woods, father Earl died after a long battle with cancer. He didn't live long enough to see Tiger fulfill the bold predictions Earl made for him (having a bigger social impact than Ghandi and Mandela combined) but Tiger definitely did enough good things that should make a father proud:

"I’m very saddened to share the news of my father’s passing at home early this morning. My dad was my best friend and greatest role model, and I will miss him deeply. I’m overwhelmed when I think of all of the great things he accomplished in his life. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him, and I’m honored to continue his legacy of sharing and caring. Thank you to all who are sending condolences to my family and our Foundation. We are truly blessed to have so many who care during this difficult time."

I’m a huge Tiger fan and this is big. May Earl rest in peace and I’m sorry for his loss. His dad pushed him to be the great golfer and person Tiger is today.
