'It is with much sadness that I must report the passing of our friend, colleague and one of our mentors; Al Ragusa. Al has been fighting a valiant effort with cancer for a number of years and through it all was always there for all of us. He will be greatly missed. Al passed away this weekend comfortably at his home . Memorial service details will follow. I hope you all will join me in spending a moment to keep Al and his family in your prayers. I'm sure we will all miss "the coach".'
