I will always hold on to the high fives, big smiles or positive words of affirmation leaving the basketball court after a game that Pa was in the stands for.
As a teammate of Pa's granddaughter, Madison Purcell, I can say that Pa was an incredible supporter, fan, and advocate for the sport of basketball and watching those that he loved, play it. He cheered, he celebrated, and he congratulated us all at each of the games, no matter the outcome.
It was a true treat to get to know Pa, and Grandma Sally, growing up. I have fond memories with them at The Purcell household.
May he live on in each of them. And may he find a court-side seat in heaven.
