To my second dad...You will be missed so much. I have always looked forward to you and "mom's" visits to Hilton Head. You always made me like I was apart of the family. You have raised such an amazing family and I'm honored to have been apart of your life. Love, Rick, Jill, Kylie, Abby and Emma.

I am thinking of you all at this difficult time. I will always remember my Uncle Steve as a sports enthusiast who helped to inspire me in athletics. I recall times when Uncle Steve would say to me "man I think I would have enjoyed coaching and teaching". Of course we all know what a tremendous job he did teaching and coaching people through their struggles of every day life. I think of him, more now than ever, when I'm on the field working with young people and saying to myself, you would have been great at this and how I do appreciate your enthusiasm in what it is I do. Friday night Oct. 5th, 2007 as I gathered with our young men on the field to ready for the second half I looked to the sky and with a few tears in my eyes I said to Uncle Steve thanks for looking in on me tonight and being so supportive through the years. I will always remember you, especially on cool Friday nights in the fall, God Bless you Uncle Steve.
Love Chris
