Sad loss of a great athlete

Monday night I received an email from Kermitt Bentham to say that Fran Scott, a fellow M45 400m runner, had lost his battle with liver cancer.
Fran was a true gentleman, on and off the track, and he will be missed by all of us.

Last time I saw Fran was on the podium at the world championships in Italy.
He ran the first leg in the 4x400m relay and set us up for a great win.
Here's the report in Masters News - An American Master's blog.
49 is no age to go. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
We'll miss you Fran.
