Coop....WOW, I cant believe it but GOD is in control of this situation. I remember the days at Forestville and it was great to coach a kid like yourself. You were always focused and all about TEAM. Man and you ran that rock also. I know you are in a better place and will be looking down watching over your mom, sister and kids. RIP and you will be missed.

Dear Tracy,
My heart is filled with sadness today because I remember George. only as a kid playing his heart and giving his as a running back for. The Forestville Falcons. I use to say this kid reminds me of Eric Dickerson. Tracy I can not sit here remotely say how you feel right now but like me I am holding on to the memory of this joyous kid with a smile that could light up the darkest room. Just continue to call on Jesus.He will strengthen you on all sides

It's been 11 years when we first met on the school bus! Lol. We couldn't stand each until we realized how much were alike! Remember when you and Kenny use to chase me every time we got off the bus! Lol! There are so many memories of you that I have and I will continue to keep. We might not have seen each other everyday but we knew where to find each other. I love and miss you dearly George!! My prayers go out to your entire family, especially your beautiful mother and sister. See you later!
