I heard nothing but good things about this guy.

Sad news for the softball world! Condolences to his family and all those young ladies whose lives he touched.

everyone should tell their girls how much they love them, because you obviously never know!!!! my thoughts are with the Grotenhuis family!

We in the softball community will be hosting a Softball Benefit Tournament for the Grotenhuis Family on September 5-7th 2014 for ALL age groups. This will be a Multi-complex event with different age groups played at one complex per age group. ALL proceeds will go STRAIGHT to the family.

I'm proud to say this was a friend and he did it for the right reasons!!! Loved the Game and Loved to TEACH the game. We lost a GREAT man who loved his family deeply and truely loved teaching each girl he came in contact with; the game of Softball. He use to call me and say Hey, bud I got some video I want you to see. Meet you at High school to watch. I was like ugh, Jimbo see you in 45 minutes since I don't live close to Atoscicita HS. But once their his passion for the game motivated me as a Friend and Coach. I'm going to miss our Video sessions Jimbo and talking Softball.

Yours Truely,
Coach Gene
