Bob Endemann Sr. • GK	I cannot believe, that it is my turn to write my salute. Four years does not last as long as it used to. There are so many people to thank and things to say, but I need to start off by thanking my parents first and foremost. Dad thanks for everything, you were my first coach and I can honestly say that you taught me more about this game, than anybody. You pushed me to become who I am today, and I thank you for all of your support through it all. Mom, thank you for all the support, and the belief that you have in me. I will never forget the way I am supposed to kick the soccer ball, and I will always be grateful for every thing you have done for me. Mom and Dad, thanks for every ride, cheer, hug, kiss, and dollar that you have ever given me. I LOVE YOU GUYS!! Next, I have to thank my brother Jake, and sister Rachel. Jake, if I could write all I wanted to say about what you have done for me, it would take about 50 pages. Thanks for believing in all of my potential. I would not have made it if it wasn’t for the heart you showed when you played. You gave more to this program than anyone, and you are the definition of pride. Thank you for always looking out for me, and making me feel comfortable from day one. Thanks for coming to as many games as you could possibly make, and making your presence known. I speak for everyone in this program when I say thank you for all you have done, and committed to. You are the best, Jake, thanks man. Rachel, you can always make me laugh. Thanks for all the joys, and good times you have given to me. You are truly an honest individual, and you deserve the best in life. I know when you were younger, you were dragged out to all of my games and tournaments, I want you to know I appreciate you always being there. I love you, Rachel!! Michelle, I do not know where to even begin. I don’t even know how to thank you for everything. You were there for everything, the laughter, and the tears, and you made it all so much better. Thank you for coming to Saint Mary’s and sharing all of these experiences with me. Thank you for all of the times you kept me going, for all the times you brought me back up after I was down, and for every game you sat through — even when I wasn’t playing. You do not know how much you really mean to me. There are so many things I want to say about you, and if I wrote them I all, I would miss the senior game, so I will end by saying thank you so much, I love you, Michelle. Matt and Po, thanks for being there to support me in every way. Po, thanks for coming to every game and supporting me from day one. You are the best roommate ever, and I knew from our first year here, we would always be friends. Thanks for everything. Matt, my original teammate and best buddy, thanks for always believing in me, and being there for me. Thanks for all the memories from Woodridge storm, Ajax, and of course DGS. I will never forget the donuts, man, thanks for it all. Finally, thanks to the boys of SMU men’s soccer — Luzzi, Benny, G-Money, Neil, Lardner, Jason, Brayton, Peck, Kroll, Browner, JB, Joey Rude, Lackey, and Bunz. I hope I am not forgetting anyone; you guys are the best, thanks for everything you have all done for me. OH AH LARDNER, I said OH AH LARDNER!! Thanks to my fellow seniors, Reddish, Jimmy, and Brenty — you guys are awesome, and I love you guys. Jimbobinimania, thanks for being such a great guy all the time. Go Bush!! It was a great four years with you. Brenty, thanks for coming back, you brought so much to this team, and it was awesome playing with you again. Thanks for all the good times, and I am sure we will celebrate in the near future. Reddish, you are awesome man, reach for your potential, because when you do, you will blow people away. Trust me when I say that it was a privilege playing with you. Boland, thanks for making me laugh EVERYDAY, hey baby … I’m a baby, you are hilarious bro, thanks for all the effort, and heart in every game and practice. GO BEARS!!! Kozy, you are the best, man, and you always gave 100%, you are a genuinely good person, and you crack me up. STIENZA!! Thanks for going to the scary movies with me, Hot Jumbali!! To the rest of my boys, I hope that I have made some sort of positive impression on you and your experiences here. Thanks for all of your effort in every game, Michael Schmitt, Kunick, Matyas, and all you guys, thanks for everything. We have a lot more to do this year, so let’s have some fun. I love all you guys and thank you all for everything. I wish things could have been better record-wise, but I know how good we really are and that is all that matters to me. It was an absolute privilege to play with every single one of you! I wish all you guys the best of luck in the future, I will be around for all of you guys not matter what, and I cannot wait to come back for alumni weekend and see you all again! Take care boys — love ya, Bobby.
