God bless Frank and Noreen Groh

[JoinTheEAA]

Eagle Nation lost one of our best fans and best people with the passing of Frank Groh Friday night. If you took a road trip to watch the Eagles, good chance you saw Frank and Noreen Groh in the stands. It is no surprise they have designated the Eagle Athletic Association for Frank's memorial. Like Tony Carpine and Jim Wagner that passed on in recent years, Eagle Nation won't be the same without Frank.

The link below has more information but in case you can't access the Spokesman website the service is this Tuesday at 11:00 am in Odessa. Our thoughts are with Shawn and Todd Claypool, EAA fund drive captains and two of our best alumni. Fitting that Shawn and Todd displaced the great Thorne Tibbitts in the 2011 Fund Drive. Also fitting that Frank leaves us as a National Champion. If you are able, remember Frank by supporting the EAA. Sorry for your loss Shawn, we all wish your family the best.

I would like to add that the moment of silence today prior to the game was very classy and highly appreciated by so many fans and by Frank's family. Thanks to Dave Cook and the rest of the athletic administration for remembering Frank.

A fine legacy, indeed.

Frank will be missed. Noreen has some memory issues so we will not see her as often.
They would have been excited to see the much bigger crowds at the BB games this year. Lots of new faces and support.
God Bless
