RIP Chris Passow
06/25/15 - The volleyball community has lost a wonderful ambassador of the sport this week. Chris Passow, 60, lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday, June 22, 2015. The Milwaukee native was a valuable mentor to many of the referees in Badger Region. He will be remembered as a knowledgeable and steady referee who had great insight into the game. He always took an interest in the referees he worked with, on both a professional and personal level, and shared timely and valuable feedback to referees of all levels. He will be greatly missed.
