As you probably have heard by now, Ty is gone, along with all the others in the fire. What a great player and a great guy. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to his girlfriend Heidi, whom I met only a couple of months ago, and his family. It has been a very surreal past few days for me. Again, thank you all for your calls, emails, and prayers of concern. Your love is very much appreciated. It’s been tough, but all I have to do is think about the families affected by this tragedy, and my pain feels pretty insignificant...
