Sad News - Passing of Dan Spee's - Supporting the Family

Soccer Community:

See the note below from Coach Blair Lincoln

------------
I am not sure if you were aware but Michael Spees’ brother Dan Spees passed away on Tuesday June 2nd. To support Michael Spees and his family we are asking that the boys in the CHS soccer program attend the visitation together.

Here are the particulars:

• Date: Friday, June 5th
• Time: 3:30pm (visitation hours from 2-4pm)
• Location: Metcalf & Jonkhoff Funeral Service, 4291 Cascade Rd SE, Grand Rapids MI 49546.
• Directions: Corner of Cascade Road and Kenmoor Ave.
• Link: http://www.metcalfandjonkhoff.com/html/contact.html

Again we’re planning to meet at 3:30pm in the parking lot of the funeral home and attend the visitation together as a program.

If they are not able to attend at that time there is another visitation from 6-8pm and the actual funeral service will be held on Saturday morning at 11am in the First Baptist Church in Alto, MI. The address is 6015 Bancroft, Alto MI 49302.

Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Blair Lincoln
