Eddie Sisco
Eddie Sisco, our son, passed away at 4:18am on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. He was 48.
Eddie suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 1993 that ended his golf career, , , he was an accomplished junior golfer winning many tournaments and several junior club championships.
Eddie had to learn everything all over again. He had many challenges these 32 years after his accident, but he never complained, , , and he met and handled every challenge with strength and grace.
Eddie never met a stranger and everyone who met him liked him because of his big smile and positive personality. When people who have met Eddie think about him, , , I think they smile. Eddie was truly happy and never had a bad day in some difficult circumstances.
Dorine (Mom) passed away in 2020 from COVID, , , we discussed many times how proud we were of Eddie in his accomplishments and more importantly of the person he was growing into. Eddie was simply a delight and fun to be around his entire life.

TWO
Ten years ago I was in Dubai for two weeks. Over the weekend I created a short video for my beautiful wife, Dorine, , , and who was my girlfriend for more than 50 years. I titled it “TWO”, , , it tells our “love story” with background music from the movie, Romeo and Juliet. This song was special for us as it always reminded us of one of our early dates before getting married.

Dorine
As I refocus my efforts in providing content and tools to help IT managers achieve more success, I think the first post should be about my wife and best friend of more than 50 years – Dorine Louque Sisco.
CLICK HERE to open and scroll through the PhotoBook I created for family and friends after losing Dorine on July 29, 2020 after a month-long battle with COVID-19.
Losing Dorine unexpectedly took a huge toll on me. I could barely function for two years, isolated myself from friends and focused on taking care of our son. Eddie had to be hospitalized 7 times in 2021 and 2022, and I had a challenging back problem, , , it was a difficult two years. I’m just now starting to do real work again after a 3-year lapse.
Not wanting to give you a sob story but more of trying to explain how much Dorine meant to Eddie and me. She was our rock, , , always happy with a smile on her face and doing things simply to make life fun. She took care of the home front while I took care of the business side. My business would not have succeeded, and I would not have achieved the success I attained without Dorine’s support and encouragement.
Dorine, or “Do” as I often called her, was the most positive person I’ve ever known. Everyone loved her and she was so easy to get to know. Many of my IT Manager Institute training students met her at our class dinners, , , she was always the highlight of the evening.
Dorine was also the smartest person I’ve known. She didn’t have a college education, but she could do anything she set her mind to do and she could solve pretty much any problem or puzzle. She was very creative and loved painting, drawing, sewing, arts and crafts and decorating our home. She was fantastic in so many ways. And did I mention what a great cook she was? Her gumbo and lasagna was world class.

I miss Dorine terribly, but I love and appreciate the great times and experiences we had together for 50 years. Memories are never lost, and I’m in a good place now so I’m excited to start working again.
CLICK HERE to watch the video below if you are interested in the thoughts I put together and recorded for Dorine’s funeral, , , I think it sums up who she was and how much I loved and appreciated her.
Thank you for visiting, , , your comments and sharing this post are appreciated.
LCHS – 1967 Class Reunion Skit
Get ready for a few laughs. Our 45th High School Reunion skit was a real winner. We are preparing an even bigger event for our 50th in September 2017.
My “best girl”
Dorine has been my best friend for so many years and we are coming up on our 46th wedding anniversary soon. She was and always will be one beautiful girl. Here are a few of my favorite Dorine photos.
Wuff, , , wuff
“All I want is some coffee!”
Aw shucks
A very patriotic girl
The photos above were taken in 1990 on vacation trip to Jacksonville, FL where Eddie and I played the two TPC courses.

In 2014 I created a short video for my “girlfriend” while I was in Dubai for 2 weeks. I was missing her so I put this video together to tell her how much I missed and loved her, , , sort of tells our “love story”.
