Not sure what to say?

Mr. Gasaway was such a great guy. He was my baseball coach and he just loved the game and passed that love on to all who played for him. He was also a family man and he had a great family. You could see Mr. Gasaway's influence on all of them. Mrs. Gasaway became my mom's best friend and they would talk weekly until her passing. Mr. Gasaway has been gone for a while now but I think of him often. Best Wishes.

Dear Joan and family:
Just found out today, 6/8 about the passing of "Biggs." I am sorry for your loss, and will remember you in my prayers.
Love,
Mary Lou

Tony so sorry to hear this news. He certainly had an impressive sports record as well, I'm sure, as a legal career. I see where you get your drive. My sympathy to your family.

My deepest sympathies to the Gasaway family. Mr. Gasaway was easily the best baseball coach that I ever had. I learned more about the game in the short summer or two playing for him than in all of the other years that I played. I still remember those summers and smile, all of these years later. Joe, and everyone else, I am truly sorry for your loss.

To the Gasaway family, I am sorry for your loss. You cannot have a conversation about amateur baseball in St Louis and not have Mr. Gasaway's name come up...it's impossible. He will be missed but never forgotten. All thoughts to you in your time of sorrow.

I got my son a JUGGS pitching machine when it was time to get him in lots of swings. I always remembered going to Parkway and hitting with Tony and then coming over to the house and having those "special talks" with your mom and dad. Prayers going out for Tony, Joe, Lisa, Mom Gasaway and family. Also want to thak Ed for being such an intrigal part of the St. Louis College League. This is where many things in my life changed after being drafted. You never know where in life you end up but...

Mr. Gasaway was my baseball coach for many years! He was the hardest working, most knowledgeable person I ever knew concerning baseball. He also made the game FUN and interesting!! He was a GREAT coach and a GREAT person!! My condolonences to the whole family!
