Love ya Blue

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. I remember you through my 24 of years in the service and followed you and your son Wade as a defensive Coach. I loved watching you both do your best in what you both accomplished for Football and friends around you. Wished I could have met you both , but memories are what I have and I am happy with that. May God Bless you and family.

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Saepe Expertus, Semper Fidelis, Fratres Aeterni.

Often Tested, Always Faithful, Brothers Forever.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family. A true football legend that gave class to the game.

People are remembered from their daily walk with the Lord. Bum's was steady. Because of his faith, his heart was gold and respect was given to his brilliant character. Thank you for serving God and sharing your life with the world. Thanks to your family whom allowed you to bring passion to many.

I will never forget the first words he said to us we he was introduced to us as the new head coach in 1959 at AHS. "Boys, we are just out here to have fun, but it ain't no d****d fun unless you win.
