I fondly remember Fred Jacoby as one of my first football coaches at Bremen High School and his early instruction and encouragement in how to play the game. I will miss this gentle and nice man and I give my regards to his family.

A life has come to an end, but a true legacy like that of Fred Jacoby's will live on. There aren't many men in the world like Mr. Jacoby. His contributions to the world as a coach, administrator and role model will be difficult to match. May you be living without pain and in complete comfort under His great and healing care.

Fred Jacoby was one of the most decent men any of us couold hope to meet. In a world of cut-throat competition, Fred taught everyone how to conduct yourself with dignity and gentility. We are better for having had him touch our lives. My deepest sympathies to his family.

On behalf of a grateful LeTourneau University, I pray that Fred will find eternal peace. He was a champion of athletics and a champion of life itself. The American Southwest Conference was privileged to call him Commissioner and I was privileged to have had the opportunity to work with him.
