Im sorry to hear of the loss of Mr Backo. I have many fond memories of playing basketball in their backyard with Brad and many of the neighbors. I broke my leg there and got banned a few times for acting like an idiot.i remember most though the Backos being very welcoming of all the neighbor kids. Most of all i will remember Mr Backo coaching my little league team.
