Not sure what to say?

Words cannot express how saddened we were to hear of Coach Cofer's passing. He was a great guy and wonderful coach to our son, Nick. Whitney, you and the girls have been and will continue to be in our prayers. I wish there were words that could help ease your pain and sadness. May God's peace one day be yours again. Love & prayers for all of you.

Wow, this is really sad news. I got to meet Chris last year when we visited Virginia from Australia on a work trip. We spent two weeks with Chris and the team and we were most impressed by the quality of work and their responsiveness to our software issues. It was my first trip to the US and because I was the "noob," Chris gave me a baseball as a way of welcoming me to the team. I got Chris and the rest to write their names on the ball and I still have it sitting proudly on my desk here at...

Jim and Brad (and Family), I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Words can never take away the pain, but, know that you are in our prayers.

So very sad to hear about Chris. Our thoughts and prayers are extended for each family members. We love you all very much.

Chris was part of my Dyke's class at VMI and we roomed together on road trips during my rat year. He was my teammate, friend and mentor, and I consider myself lucky to have known him. We are very sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Sincerely, Jeff and Carmen Roberts

Chris was always a great teammate and friend when we worked together on the NGIC CIAD Development Team. I truly appreciated his knowledge and willingness to share his expertise with me. When I returned last year to NGIC, he saw me and welcomed me back warmly. My sympathies go to his family and all of his friends. I know we'll all miss him. Rest in Peace, my friend.

I wasn't that close to Chris but I saw him in the office most days. He was always friendly and such a gentleman. On those occasions we worked together he was a true professional and always helpful to others. He was a positive influence in this world and we are less without him.

Jimmy, I'm so sorry to hear about Chris. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Sherry.

I pray God will cradle Chris' family in His comforting arms. Chris was a joy to work with and will be missed. Praise God; Chris is safe with Jesus. God bless you all.
