I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to the Stroud family after the passing of their father, husband, brother, and grandfather.
I fondly remember Mike Stroud as my soccer coach from when I was 8 years old until maybe 16 years old. He was serious and with a great sense of humor. I still remember him trying to motivate us to play harder and the funny expressions he would use. And I also remember the great humility he demonstrated when he stepped down as coach saying that he had reached a point where we needed a more "professional" coach. Maybe he was right, maybe he wasn't, but the decision he made was impressive.
May the Almighty comfort you in these difficult times.
