I got here this today in class from the USA Rubgy Club. He was one of my coaches. No public cause of death yet. It's a real shame. He was a great man.

It is with great sadness that I have to relay the following information to everyone, but our friend Dennis Shade passed away suddenly over this past weekend. At this time, I do not have any details except that he was found by a co-worker sometime yesterday after not reporting to his job Monday morning.

Dennis had friends all over the world in every hemisphere that he met through the great sport of rugby and I am proud to say that I knew him as first as a person and also as a rugby player and as a coach.

He was a fine man and he will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched.

Regards,
