“Don’t ever give up, don’t ever stop fighting!” Jimmy Valvo at Reynolds Coliseum. February 21, 1993

As a sad update to the last post, “G-Man” passed away yesterday. One can’t help to remember former NC State men’s basketball coach Jimmy Valvano and what he would say. In so many ways, the stories of Greg and Jimmy V mirror each other. Both had cancer but cancer never got them. It’s hard to really write something that does the situation justice. I think that only the words of Jimmy V himself could do so:

“Cancer can take away all my physical ability. It cannot touch my mind; it cannot touch my heart; and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.” Jimmy Valvo at the ESPYs. March 4, 1993
