A Sad Day

[Mokiechan]

A Man is defined by what he does for the less fortunate.

 

Folks,

I know this is off-topic but I have to say the death of Junior Seau, from whatever cause, has shaken me to the core. Not because he was a successful football player, but entirely because of what he did with his fame.

 

I have lived in the Oceanside CA area for the last 30 years and for most of that time, Mr. Seau was a man dedicated to helping the youth of Oceanside by raising hundreds of thoursands of dollars for the Boys and Girls club or other worth charities. He was a man proud of his community, a man dedicated to his community, and a man who never forgot his humble origins in one of the largest Samoan communities outside Samoa itself.

 

Rest in Peace Junior, you will always be an inspiration to those who strive to make the world a better place.

I always admired the man for his toughness and longevity. I was saddened by the news of his passing.

 

I didn't know that he was such a philanthropist. I'm not suprised but that just makes me admire his memory even MORE. RIP

Only the good die young... sad day indeed.

I heard on the news that his death is being investigated as a suicide. How tragic, for someone so talented, and apparently, giving as well.

A sad day for all, and in particular the boys and girls helped by Junior Seau. My heart and prayers goes out to the family, friends, and children of the Boys and Girls Club.

Sadly

Junior Seau will be greatly missed here in NZ as well.
