    I have loved this man for many years. It never failed, he would call me every Thanksgiving to talk and wish me a happy holiday. It was such a joy to have him as our coach with Kent Players. But the most honor was to call him my friend. Every time he called me the first words out of his mouth was " how big a fella are you ? ". It always made my heart smile. Coach, you will truly be missed on me. I love you.

    I sat in his classroom and played ball under his instruction. He was tough on us but good to us grew to love and respect him. Convinced because of what Christ has done for us I'll also see him again one day. Very sorry for your loss
