Michael Soles is the 3rd former Alouette to succumb to this horrible disease. Larry Uteck & Tony Proudfoot are the others.

And O.J. Brigance who was with the Baltimore Stallions 94-95 was diagnosed in 2007 and is still with us, as much as a person with ALS can still be with us.

R.I.P. Michael Soles.

So sad. I remember the all Canadian back field in Edmonton (late 80's to early 90's) featuring Michael Soles and Blake Marshall
