So sorry to hear of "Coon's" passing. He was always so open and friendly to all his friends. We loved him dearly and he will be missed so much. And, you Inez, stood by him so bravely. May God bless you and your family.

"Coon" will be deeply missed. He was a wonderful friend, and will always be remembered fondly. He always loved my father Bennie, and I loved hearing him tell stories about my father's football days in the 50's. My dad and entire Galloway family loved Ralph dearly. Our prayers are with the family and his wonderful wife.

We will all miss Coon! Growing up in my day, if you talked about Easley sports, you talked about Coon Hendrix! A member of the Easley Football "Hall of fame"!
Inez and family, our prayers are with and for you in this difficult time.
Inez, you went over, above, and beyond in your care for your man!! May God bless you!
