IN
MEMORY OF BRET YOUNGER
 The
PaceSetters mourn the loss of Bret Younger... a friend... a board
member... a runner.
Bret you will be sorely missed by all of us... and we send our prayers
and deepest sympathy to your family and friends. Words are poor
things when we suffer the loss of a loved one. Bret was a
special person, who shared the joy of life like no other.
Memories of your time with us are fresh and hopefully will carry us
through our grief. Thank You Bret!
Love, the PaceSetter Family

Director at the Appleton YMCA and had been Race Director for the
Community First Fox Cities Marathon for the past five years.
Financial contributions to the "Bret Younger Benefit Fund"
can be dropped off at any Community First Credit Union branch or at
any Fox Cities area YMCA location. Donations may also be mailed to the
