Sadly, one of the good Trojans (Garry P) passed away

I think some of our NDN Board OPs likely knew Garry.

Garry Paskwietz was a founder and driving force of wearesc.com A close friend of mine is a co-founder and partner in the site, so I have met Garry on several occasions and he was always a gentleman and straight shooter. Too young (52) to go...

If anyone is near the grotto and needs to do some "penance"...maybe light a candle for a life long Trojan!!




If memory serves, he and Mike Frank were friends.

If this is the right guy, they got along well enough that Garry would answer questions on Mike’s site during the Manti Te’o recruitment. They knew Manti was calling coaches one by one as they were eliminated. The night before signing day, neither Weis nor Carroll had received the phone call. I think Manti called Carroll just before he walked in to his announcement.


Correct. Mike left a very gracious tribute on their board *

Was he sick or was this unexpected?


I believe he had a stroke relatively recently

I saw him at briefly at the ND-USC game and he did not look great. But, I wasn't close enough to know any details. I think it was pretty sudden from the little I hear.


You're right. A buddy who knew him just confirmed
