Not sure what to say?

You taught me about making good grades as a RUSSIAN MAIL ORDER STUDENT

I remember back in 1990, you taught us how to play cement tennis @ Gonzalez Elementary, you and Coach Easley was my PE teachers. Love ya Coach Pro Rest Easy

Chris and I went TO ENMU Together we were roommates and friends I had the best time of my life with him those years in Portales Rest in Peace Pro

Rest sweetly, Coach pro! This past Christmas, I ordered my three kids some sheer, colorful scarves to learn how to juggle the way coach taught us. I have fond memories of playing his version of "cement tennis" and I even remember how wonderful and exciting his cement tennis tournaments were. Does anyone else remember how fun he made tinikling with the PVC pipes and how loud it made the gym? I feel like he truly loved his job and gave his all.

What a wonderful coach, COACH PRO!!! I have great memories with after gymnastics being taught by a dedicated coach. PE was always the highlight of my day as a scholar at Gonzales Elementary. My thoughts and prayers are with family!

My condolences to his family. He was my PE coach at Gonzales and he was amazing! We all loved PE. He taught us skills and made everyday fun! We all loved "Parachute Day" and I´ll never forget him dragging out all the gymnastics equipment and teaching us proper techniques! I really thought I could be a gymnast!

My favorite coach for sure, kept in touch with him for many yrs after Gonzales. I remember that lil red sports car he had. Was always there when needed. Rest in Peace Coach.

I don't remember a lot of the teachers at Gonzales, but I always remembered Coach Pro and how fun he made P.E.
