John Carbray, Dips GM, Passes at 80

John Carbray, who did so much for the NASL, passed yesterday. Mr. Carbray's influence on soccer in the Washington,DC, area cannot be overstated. His son, Dave, posted the following on social media. "It is with a heavy heart and a sense of relief that I let you know of the passing of my father John L. Carbray after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. He was a great father, husband, promoter and friend to many. His contributions to the sports and entertainment industry were many but at his core he loved the fans and never forgot where he came from. My brother Kyle and I are proud of our Dad and along with his wife Diane thank you in advance for your thoughts as we mourn. A lifelong baseball man has rounded third heading for home." https://washingtondiplomats.blogspot.com/2015/05/john-carbray.html
