PHILADELPHIA - Jamie Beyer, who helped lead Temple men's crew to four gold medals at the Dad Vail Regatta, passed away on March 3 following a long bout with cancer. He was 44.

A 1996 Temple graduate, Mr. Beyer was one of the top coxswains in program history. Under the direction of Hall of Fame coach Dr. Gavin White, he helped guide the Varsity 8 to three gold medals and the second Varsity 8 to one in his four years with the team.

A funeral mass will be held this Saturday, March 3 at Mother of Divine Grace Catholic Parish.
