For those of you who haven't already heard, I wanted to pass along the sad news of the passing of Rusty Lurwick, a longtime fixture of the Raleigh volleyball community. 

Rusty was a great volleyball player and an even nicer person who'll be sorely missed. He was taken from us far too soon.

 

Please keep his wife Jackie (who you may know through the Raleigh Parks & Rec. Dept. and also used to be quite the volleyballer herself) and their families in your prayers.

 

Here's his obituary, which also appears in today's N&O http://www.legacy.com/newsobserver/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=123126509

ps. I know most of the players on the JR's email list probably don't know Rusty, but if your parents have been around the volleyball scene for awhile, they probably do, so please pass this along to them.
