Hi Claudia
Thanks for the reply. Its always nice to meet another cousin. If you could send me the text of the obituary I would really apreciate it. Until just a few months ago I didn't even know Sarahs name but I've found out quite a bit about her. Never seen the name Kincaid after hers though. Did she remarry after Charles Fanning Cheek died? or what. Also do you know of any Cherokee connection with the Weeses? I was told Sarah was mostly Cherokee, but have been unable to verify this.
Thanks
John

John,
My African- American Cheek family lived in Asheboro, NC in Randolph County. In my chart, I have a William Clarence Cheek b-1900 and Walter Cheek b-1917 (they could be brothers). I'm not sure of their parents' names or their off-spring. We do know that a number of our Cheeks migrated to WVA in the early 1900's. Is there a connection ?

Does anyone claim this "famous" Cheek?
Title: Tom Cheek has `touched them all'
Author(s): N.A.

Database: Newspaper Source
Tom Cheek has `touched them all'
Section: SPECIALS, pg. SS06
Cal Ripken Jr., take a back seat. Baseball's iron man
has nothing on Tom Cheek.
The Blue Jays' radio voice is working on a consecutive
games streak that makes Ripken's record 2,632 games
pale in comparison. When the Jays launched their 25th
season yesterday, Cheek was behind the mike for his
3,806th consecutive game - every one the team has ever
played. No one keeps these kinds of records, but
nobody can think of a longer one.
``There certainly are guys who've been around longer
(Ernie Harwell and Vin Scully have been going more
than 50 years) but I can't think of anyone who's done
25 years without missing a game,'' says Jerry Howarth,
Cheek's partner the last 20 years.
To set the record straight, Cheek, now 61, called a
handful of those games for the defunct SuperChannel
television station and one for CBS radio, meaning he
wasn't on the Jays' radio network. But if the Jays
were playing, Cheek was behind a microphone.
Admittedly, Cheek hasn't had to face 100 m.p.h.
fastballs and sliding runners, but showing up at the
office day in and day out for 25 years is no mean
feat.
``There was a lot of luck and a whole bunch of
stupidity,'' Cheek says. ``There have been some times
when I probably should have gone down for the count
and I'm sure the audience would agree with that.
``It's never been part of any grand scheme. It just
sort of happened.''
In some ways, Cheek wishes it hadn't. He had planned
to miss a game a few years back to attend his daughter
Lisa's graduation from Humber College, but he says she
persuaded him to do his duty.
``I felt like an absolute heel on the air all night,''
he recalls.
So what keeps Cheek going? Howarth says it's the
relationship Cheek has built with his audience.
``He has a lot of respect for his audience and they
have a lot of respect for him,'' he says. ``He feels a
certain obligation to them.''
Cheek says it's simpler than that; he can't think of
any place he'd rather be.
``It's kind of like work, but on the other hand it's
the game we all grew up loving and playing and still
being part of that and getting paid for it,'' he says.
``It's kind of like being in never-never land.''
Cheek has put together this incredible streak in
typical low-key fashion. Hardly flamboyant - about the
only unique aspect to his announcing is calling a hit
``a base rap'' - Cheek is like an old pair of slippers
to most Jays fans. That's the way he likes it.
``Whatever the moment dictates and whatever the
feeling dictates that's what blurts out,'' he says.
``That's why it's called play-by-play. We're not
editorialists, we're not there to get scoops, we're
there for ball one, ball two . . . and so on.
``They won't inscribe my call on my headstone because
I don't really have one.''
Well, there is one call that might be inscribed on his
headstone. Who could ever forget his classic call of
Joe Carter's World Series-winning home run in 1993:
``Touch them all, Joe. You'll never hit a bigger home
run in your life.''
That was, like all of Cheek's calls, totally
spontaneous.
``Remember, the Jays were trailing, we were hoping for
a tie game,'' he says. ``When (Carter) got to first
base and was jumping up and down like he had fire ants
in his pants, I wanted to remind him that you do
really have to touch them all.''
If you assumed that Carter's home run or that first
World Series victory were the highlights of Cheek's
career, especially after enduring years of losing
teams, you'd be wrong. His highlight came in 1977.
``From a very personal point of view the biggest
thrill was getting this job,'' he says. ``When I was a
kid growing up on a dirt road in Pensacola (Fla.) I
wanted to do what I'm doing today. I always knew what
I wanted to do.
``But at age 36, a corporate sales manager for a chain
of radio stations in Burlington, Vt., doing some
college basketball games,I thought this was not meant
to be. Then this came along and changed my life.''
Cheek says he's considered leaving Toronto only once.
Back in '97 when the Jays were on the verge of
changing stations, Cheek worried he might not be
retained and talked to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays about
a radio job.
