For the past nine years Coach Hodson has been battling multiple cell Myeloma, a cancer that attacks the blood and bone marrow. He has been one of the strongest people I have ever known. He has put on the toughest fight against Cancer and like many others I was so sure that he was going to beat it.. If anyone could he could and I thought it was going well, but this past little while the cancer started fighting harder against him and last Thursday night his daughter, Annie, told me that there was nothing more the doctors could do for him and that they were giving him a week, maybe less. Well last night, November 3, 2008 Coach Hod passed away. For the past nine years I have become a part of that family and being so far away during a time like this really just hurts. He was such an amazing person. He welcomed me into their family with open arms and has been there for me through 
everything that I have decided to do with my life. He is such an inspiration to me to fight for what I want and to work hard to accomplish my goals. He will truly be missed by so many. I just wanted to ask you all to keep his family in your prayers. Thank you so much.. I love you Coach Hod!
