Read MoreCoach Swope! Thank you for investing in my future. Who knew the money you loaned me to purchase my first pair of running shoes in August of 1988 would've propelled me on a journey to run more than 30,000 miles on four continents including my first marathon in December of 1988. I will always be forever thankful for your kindness and inspiration to go the distance in life one mile at a time.

Coach Fred Swope was my inspiration to become a special education teacher. I will miss my mentor greatly as I continue my amazing career. For many years I enjoyed visiting with him and Elaine in Yuma, AZ. Thanks Coach! Rest in peace.

Met Fred and Elaine where I work at Dayspring assisted living, Fred was the most independent guy I´ve met and was really nice to talk to and get to know, he never failed to make any of us smile

Have known Elaine and Fred for years, first as a neighbors at Mona Kai Condominiums and then as an ongoing friend, through Day Break, Day Spring and MLBC. Fred was a man who spoke his mind but had a tender heart. He will be missed.

Enjoyed knowing Fred and Elaine starting at their time here at Mona Kai. Yes, Fred lived his way but had a heart of gold inside that exterior. Won´t be able to attend the memorial as we will be in Florida at that time. Love and hugs to Elaine and all of the extended family. Tom and Esther
