Referee Jeff Sides passing

[laxfan25]

It is with a very heavy heart that I report that my good friend and fellow official Jeff Sides has passed away this morning. For those that don't know Jeff, he was a long time lacrosse player, official, assigner and fan of the game.
Jeff played goalie for the Marin Lacrosse Club I believe, as well as the Wright-Patterson team in Dayton, OH. He has been a stalwart of officiating in West Michigan for many years, and has held the thankless job of assigning the hundreds of MS and HS games in the area.

Jeff was diagnosed with esophogeal cancer just four weeks ago, and his passing came about very quickly, serving to end the intense pain he was suffering.

Please keep Jeff, his soul and his wife Pam in your prayers. He will be greatly missed by all that were privileged to know him. Arrangements are pending at this time, but Pam believes they will be on Monday.
