Dirt's Mom June
Dirt’s mom, Junie McComber, is a well-recognized lacrosse fan. In fact, at the 2015 World Indoor Lacrosse games in Syracuse, a well known gentleman approached her several times, acknowledging her Number One Fan Status. (That man was Jim Brown, former Syracuse U lacrosse player, pro football fullback, and actor.) Here is Junie talking about her youngest son, Eric, the man we call Dirt!
Dirt's Dad - Jimmy Flo
Sadly, Dirt’s father died in October of 2011. Here are some of Dirt’s and Jaime’s (Dirt’s oldest son) recollections of the strong and tought iron worker/lacrosse player, Jimmy Flo—which could also describe Dirt! This is why we have entitled Part II of Dirt’s History—THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE!
