Darrell’s wife?

Yes

Sam Hicks, my father-in-law, 64. Proud son and occasional black sheep of Frankston, TX. A good ’un.

For today, I am grudgingly glad he got to see his beloved Rangers win a ring before he went.

Condolences to you and the family. I’m happy to hear he got to enjoy the Rangers WS win. My father-in-law was a big Rangers fan and didn’t make it to the finish line.

I’m so sorry to hear about your father in law.
One of my best friends here in Austin just lost her Dad to a year long battle with brain cancer. He too was able to see his beloved stRangers win a ring and I’m grudgingly happy as well.

Some choice Vic Fontaine quotes:

By the way, this is a high class joint. That means, coat and ties for the gents, dresses for the ladies. You guys look like a trapeze act.

Here in Vegas there’s only one way to make sure you don’t lose any money: the moment you step off the plane, you walk right into the propellers.

Don’t say it - Computer, end program.

Everything about that role - his portrayal and the writing behind it - was so convincing that at first I didn’t know Vic Fontaine wasn’t one of Dean Martin’s or Frank Sinatra’s real-life contemporaries. RIP Pally.

Ouch. He was a coaching legend.

I once had a 20-30 minute conversation with him at a Rice football game. He was a very interesting fellow.

He was. My institutional knowledge of Rice baseball is wanting, but has anyone else been close to him in success there? His achievements there are pretty special.
