Not sure what to say?

People are supposed to shrink as they get older, and maybe some of them do, but to my way of thinking, Coach Diambri has only grown taller over the years. Even though most of his players had to crook their necks to talk with him, Coach Diambri was still someone we all looked up to; and to me he was always the biggest person in the room or on the field.

Coach Diambri was a towering figure in my life and an icon to hundreds of young men that played football for him. Having "grown up" around the high school I had the opportunity to know him personally as a family friend and I will testify to his greatness as a person as well as his greatness as a motivator and leader of young men. I'm sure that everyone who ever played for Coach Diambri could fondly tell many stories about their experiences. I'll always remember turning in films in Seattle...
