Tom Masich, 86, Prince George Track & Field Club founder and Sports Hall of Famer, passed away in hospice on Sunday after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Bill Masich sat down with The Citizen Wednesday to talk about his dad, Tom Masich, Prince George sports icon and Hall of Famer, who passed away peacefully Sunday after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was 86.
“He was always Tom,” Bill said. “And when we stepped away from all that stuff then he was Dad or Pops. He was just that guy. He filled so many roles in so many ways and did them all so well and he could be all of those things at once.”“At home when I was a kid we’d get on these trails of witticisms with a theme,” Bill said. “Oh, you should leave that alone. Why don’t you branch out? Stop it, you’re needling me.
But Tom wasn’t just about track and field. He was one of the founders of the Prince George Minor Basketball Association. He was the driving force behind it and there were other people who shared his vision and they all worked together to make it happen. The association is now almost 50 years old, Bill explained.
