I was a therapist for Mr Deal. I just happened to see the baseball he signed for my daughter and son today and I looked him up and saw he had passed. He was a great man.

He was very beloved in Puerto Rico. One of the best players to see action in our league. May he rest in peace.

I never met Cot in person, but for over 10 years we were email buddies. Occasionally I would call Cot just to say hey. He was such a classy person, very upbeat, and always positive. Very sorry to read of Cot's passing and he will be missed by all. My sincere condolences to the Deal family. Bruce Doull, Coventry, RI

I was very sorry to hear of Cot's passing. I got to know him several years ago and enjoyed the baseball stories he shared with me by phone or e-mail. I hope he enjoyed the baseball stuff I sent his way. He was so proud of Katie and his "kids", and my thoughts and prayers go out to each of you now. God bless.

Special Friends
Sometimes people come into your life; you feel you have known forever.
Then in an instance they are gone leaving an impression that leaves you never.
You feel blessed to have known them, for they have giving you a new outlook on life.
Sometimes God sends you a special friend to help you with life's pain and strife.
Then when life's journey is over on earth, you recognize them up above.
When you reach the gates of heaven, you will feel their comforting love.
It's a mystery to us as we think and wonder but, God has such a special plan.
Yes, he knows what is needed to unite us in heaven, forever once again.

Dedicated: To Cot Deal for being such an inspiration to my husband before he died in 2007 and for being one of our special friends in life's journey.

A kinder gentleman I never met. Cot was a true baseball man. I worked for a Rochester (N.Y.) newspaper in the '70s and quickly learned of his enormous legend in that town. I later met him covering a few MLB teams, and am blessed to have done so.

Don and Rachel, I have been thinking of you two since I heard about your Dad and Rachel your GrandDad's death. Know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers. I didn't know Mr. Deal but I know you two and you are both very special people that he had influence over so he must have been special also. I love you and I am here anytime you need me.

Super nice man!!! In the summer of 2005 I called Mr.Deal to ask him if I could come over, and talk baseball, and get my Baseball Players of the 1950's autographed. He was delighted! It was fun to hear the baseball stories he told. I am sad to hear of his death. He is with the Lord now!

Katie and Family, the Randolph's (Ellis, Liz, Deb, John S.) are sincerely saddened by this loss, and are terribly dissapointed that all of us cannot make it physically to the service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. What a wonderful person he was and an inspirational life he led... great memories for all of our family.

I remember "Cot" when he managed the Indianapolis Indians in 1961. They won the American Association that year. I was a big fan and owned 1 shares of Indians Stock. Community owned at that time.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Katie, Randy, Elyse, and Donnie, it was my great good fortune to know Cot for over fifty years. He was a family man, a baseball man, and, most importantly, a man of God. He bridged all faiths, races, and languages. Please know of my prayers and my sympathy.
