Our friend and Stepinac Coach Gary Farmer was called home yesterday . Gary H Farmer was a Big Supporter of the Harlem Jets program and over the last few years he played a crucial role in educating our kids on what made Stepinac special, which in turn helped a lot of Jets kids make the decision to be a Crusader. He always found time to come to Harlem and spend time supporting with something as small as buying food from the concessions stand or as big as giving advice and helping with our kids. It didn’t go unnoticed. We lost a good one yesterday! Please keep Gary and his family in your prayers.
