Granada Little League is sad to announce the passing of one of our family members. Mark Caress passed away in his sleep on Wednesday July 22, 2009. Mark started umpiring with Granada Little League in 1999 when his grandson played in the Minor Division. Even though Mark's grandson was done participating in GLL, Mark continued as an umpire in our league. Mark is a highly regarded umpire in GLL and throughout District 57. Mark has umpired numerous post-season tournaments and was a District Umpire Instructor. Mark instructed at many Rules and Mechanics Clinics throughout District 57 over the past several years. Granada Little league and D57 was very fortunate to have Mark as a Volunteer Umpire. He was a very dedicated and respected volunteer. Mark was a Loving husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Friend and a Big Part of the GLL Family. Mark, Even though your time with us was short, you will be with us forever. We miss you already. R.I.P. Thank you for being such a good friend.
