Former player Joe Gilliam

I just read a story he is wheelchair bound and doing radiation. Joe had a rare tumor on his spine. Leaving him with no feeling from the chest down. I apologize and seen the story on fbook. I accidentally clicked off it and then haven’t been able to find it. I believe there is some type of fundraiser or something. I’m going to keep searching. But pray for him and his family. Once a Boilermaker always a Boilermaker.
