I would like to give my condolences to the Best family during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of Teaching/Coaching with Coach Best for a couple of years. I really enjoyed Al always making me laugh with his stories growing up and just always being helpful to me at all times. I enjoyed the breakfast tacos that we would get every Friday and how he would always talk about his wife and how he was looking forward to retiring and moving back home to Del Rio. You will be missed dearly my...

I offer my deepest sympathies to the family of Al Best.

I had the pleasure of speaking to him about his time playing football for Del Rio High
School. He was a warm and friendly man, and very kind and respectful to me and my family. It was an honor for us to meet the man who our father had held in such high regard as a...

My condolences to Dorothy and Coach's family. I am saddened by the loss of a dear friend. He will be sincerely missed! I enjoyed his friendship as I began my coaching career with Coach at Rhodes Middle school in 1992 and again in 2006 at Foster Elementary. I laugh when I recall many of his stories of growing up in Del Rio and surrounding areas and the fun we had working as a team. He will be missed but not forgotten. May God bless his family and his beloved Del Rio!

My condolences to the Best Family. I was deeply saddened to hear last night about Al's passing. My family was honored that he attended my father's Life Celebration in May. I greatly enjoyed visiting with Al...especially since I worshiped him as a kid. Those who had the privilege of knowing Al, are aware that he was a tremendous athlete and a wonderful man. He will be truly missed. I hope he has an opportunity to stop by in Heaven and visit with my father...Coach Powell would really...
