BRUCE BEATTY

Coach Beatty was my special teams coach for the Buffalo Bills in 1977. He was a wonderful man and a great coach. I wish I could have been with him longer than that one season. I kept in contact with him for many years after 1977. I miss him and he is in my pantheon of Football Coaches that worked with me. It includes Bob Oravitz, Johnny Majors, and Jim Ringo. Until we meet again Coach Beatty.

To the Beatty Family. I apologize for this late message about the passing of Coach Beatty. I played for Buffalo in 1977 and he was my position. Over the years I have been able to speak to him over the phone. Many times I called and Mrs. Beatty would answer and I spoke with her. I tried calling Coach this morning to see how he was doing and his number was cancelled. I am so sorry about his passing. He was a great man and a good friend. Carson G. Long

To the family of Coach Beatty: I played for the Buffalo bills in 1977, Coach Beatty was my coach. Over the years I have called Coach and on many occasions had spoken to Mrs. Beatty when she answered the phone. Coach Beatty was a great man and I have missed him very much over the years. I apologize for this late note concerning him. I believe I spoke to him earlier in the year. I tried calling him this morning and the phone was disconnected. I am so sorry I didn't know about this. ...
