Check it out for yourself Tony! golf.co.nz A fair dinkum handicap. Hard to keep it down though. Ashley is a river-running bloke, not a golfer [as far as I know]. So no golf. Thanks for congrats. I'm in Europe, so still haven't met Hayes. I hope there's plenty of time to do so. Mqurice

(retired Buffalo Bills football quarterback) Jim Kelly's 8-year-old son Hunter dies ................. (I grew up near Buffalo, New York ...) Jon. *************************************************************** August 5, 2005 Jim Kelly's 8-year-old son Hunter dies Ellen Rosen Staff writer Hunter Kelly, the little boy whose foundation raised millions for medical research into nervous system disorders, died this morning at Children's Hospital in Buffalo. Hunter, the son of Jill and Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, was 8.The foundation that bears his name, Hunter's Hope, was started by his parents in 1997, just months after he was diagnosed with Krabbe's disease, a fatal disorder that destroys the central nervous system. That foundation has raised more than $6 million, and awarded more than $3.8 million for research into neurological diseases including Krabbe's. A spokesman for the foundation said Hunter, who was constantly on oxygen due to scarring in his lungs, had been struggling to breathe for several days. He was rushed to the hospital this morning, after he had spiked a high fever and had stopped breathing. Hunter, born on his famous father's 37th birthday, Valentine's Day, had been close to death several times, but always fought back. In interviews, Jim Kelly frequently said that his son was an inspiration to him. "It has been written throughout my career that toughness is my trademark," Jim Kelly said in his Hall of Fame acceptance speech in 2002. "Well, the toughest person I've ever met in my life is my hero, my soldier, my son, Hunter. I love you, buddy." Kelly, who won an unprecedented four straight AFC titles as Bills quarterback in the early 1990s, had credited his son for serving as his inspiration after he retired from football following the 1996 season. "He'll never be able to do what daddy did," Kelly said last year. "But he's going to do greater things. He's going to make a difference in kids' lives. He already has." Hunter was diagnosed before his first birthday with the inherited disease that degenerates the central and peripheral nervous systems. Krabbe's has no known cure. A public funeral is scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday at Hamburg Wesleyan Church on McKinley Parkway in Hamburg, Erie County. There will be no prior calling hours. In addition to his parents, Hunter is survived by two sisters, Erin, 10, and Camryn, 6. EROSEN@DemocratandChronicle.com Copyright 2005 Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
