One of the final text messages most of us who knew Richard Durrett received from him was a Happy Father's Day message, and, boy, did he love being a father.
One of things he enjoyed watching most each year was the final round of the U.S. Open.
Those two, Father's Day and the U.S. Open finale, converge every year. This year, they fell four years after Richard died at age 38.
From his unexpected passing came Do It For Durrett, which originally launched to support his family (they're doing very well, thanks for asking) and then morphed into a foundation that will hold its fifth event June 27.
