My Step Brother's Benefit

Hello All,

I am posting this for My step brother Greg (Cricket) Scharffbillig. I will be coping the flyer that we will be posting around town.

On Feb 23, 1991 Greg risked his lie for the United States. He was a combt engineer in the United States Marine Corp. Cricket along with the other Marines in his unit, were part of the first ground force invasion into Kuwait. He and the other Marines went in first to clear the land mines so the tanks could rush though the next day.

Sixteen years later Cricket finds himself facing down another danger... This time in the form of cancer.

On July 25, 2007 Cricket was diagnosed with Glioblstoma Multiforme a brain tumor. Cricket is a 38 year old husband and father of three sons and is currently undergoing tratment for the brain tumor.

The North St Paul- Maplewood- Oakdale school district 622 has employed Cricket for the past 15 years. He started out as a night custodian, and is currently a bus driver and maintenance worker. After 15 years of dedication to the district 622, his fellow workers are trying to give something back to him.

Members of Local 70, the union Cricket belongs to are organizing a fundraiser and setting up a college fund for his three sons, Dillon 15, Brennon 9, and Logan 7. Please join Cricket and his family and friends in celebrating his life.
