Coach Scott,
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful father. He was so proud of you and really loved the team. He will be missed on Friday nights. He always had a smile on his face and would make a point to speak to us and ask us if we were ready for the game. Always remember the smiles and cheers. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your fantastic mother and the other members of your family. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
