Jim Tkach and family featured in a Delaware story

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER Former Northern Lehigh football coach Jim Tkach and his wife Sandi relocated to Milford, Delaware last year to be closer to their daughter Tristin, their son-in-law and their grandson, Cooper. Jim still comes back into northeast Pennsylvania every weekend to do color commentary for Blue Ridge Cable and the Bo Tkach Foundation continues to go strong with a major golf tournament every spring at Blue Ridge Country Club. We've written many stories on Jim and how the whole family has turned the ultimate in negatives into a positive. I can't give them enough credit for having the strength to go on and be so committed to helping others even as they feel the daily pain of losing their son. Suicide is a very difficult subject for anyone to discuss, but it must be discussed because we're losing too many young lives. The Bo Tkach story can't be told enough and Jim and Sandi have the courage to talk about their son, his tragedy, and the battle to increase awareness and funding. Here's a story that ran in News-Journal of Delaware last week. Excellent piece and beautiful picture of Jim, Sandi and Cooper.
