We were schoolmates, played baseball on some of the same teams. I would consider James a friend, and even though we didn't get to see one another very often. James always be missed. And I would like to send my deepest condolences.

Deepest condolences to Hoolie's family. Played football at Byrd with him. Great player and a great person. He was so modest. It was an honor to know and play with him.

My condolences to the entire Childress family. Hoodie was larger than life and I enjoyed our many talks when I was at Byrd. He leaves a wonderful legacy as a great athlete and an even more wonderful man.
