Not sure what to say?

Coach: I've been gone from Blount County for many years now. I say with pride that I played football on a state championship team lead by Hugh O'Shields. I love football down to my soul and I thank you Coach for installing that spirit in me.

Coach,
You made a great impact on my life at a time when I really needed it. You were one of a small group of good men who had a great influence on a large group of young men over a long period of time. We will never forget you.

Rest Peacefully........
