He was like a second father to me, as he knew how to talk to kids. He was a fun and affectionate person. He will be sorely missed.
My heart goes out to Connie, Ted, Bill, and all of the other Christ family members.
May he rest in Peace.

His gift as a teacher improved the quality of life to family, friends and thousands of students and his in-fluence will continue long after our memories have passed. Heaven just got a great coach.
