Dearest Lou, you came to my heart and prayers.
Saddened by the news of your loss.

Dear Barbara,

I had the pleasure of working for "Red" as sales manager of BFI in Atlanta in 1980. Sharon and I had the pleasure of being guests in your home on several occasions. Like everyone he met, "Red" was a great inspiration to me and helped me in so many ways professionally and personally. He was a great coach on and off the field.

My father, S.D. Wooten, worked with Red at BFI. He thought the world of Red. My condolences to the family.

My deepest sympathies for your loss, May the God of all comfort bring your family peace . Romans 12:12

So saddened by the news of Red's passing I have so many fond memories of Red, Barbara and the entire family. I am sending prayers and condolences to them all, with love.

I have many fond memories of the Hoggatt family. We all grew up at Memphis State in the field house with our Dads. It was a golden time and brings so many happy thoughts of swimming at the Hoggatt's house and cooking out with all the coaches kids.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers

Red was a man above men. I worked for him at BFI in the 80's, he "recruited" me for a job. I'm devastated that he is gone and pray for Barbara and his children and grandchildren. You are all in my prayers. I will join you on Saturday to pay my respects to a legend. God speed Red.
