RIA News:
The Peters Family (05/12/2009)
To All RIA Members:
On April 30 Andy Peters, a long time member of our hockey community, died. His son Casey plays on the high school junior varsity team.
Andy has done much to help the RIA, particularly when we purchased the new zamboni. He was a mechanic by trade, and helped us get our new zamboni up and running through donating many hours of his expertise (and exasperation!). Andy also helped out in many other ways, doing whatever was asked of him. He has not been around very much during the past couple of years due to his illness.
Although only in his forties, Andy had a heart condition for which he had a heart transplant a few years ago. The cost of this procedure, the aftercare, and his medication was astronomical. His wife Tammy is left to raise their son and pay these bills, and she is quietly perservering, one day at a time. Andy had no life insurance (no one would insure someone with his medical problems).
I think it would be awesome if our hockey community could raise some money to help Tammy out through individual donations. Andy was one of us, a hockey dad, who wanted Casey to have every opportunity to succeed in anything he wanted to do. Casey is only 14, and his dad isn't going to be there for any more hockey games, or for Casey's high school graduation, or to see his grandchildren. I know it can never bring Andy back, but it can show this little family that we truly care about them and maybe even help them heal in a small way from this devastating loss.
If you are interested in helping, please send any donations (Make Checks Payable to Tammy Peters) to:
Mike and Kathy Loher
4820 River Bend Road
Rhinelander, WI 54501
We will keep a record of everything we receive, and make sure the money gets to Tammy and Casey.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness, generosity, and compassion.
Mike and Kathy Loher
