Not sure what to say?

Jim was a great Friend, we shared a lot especially since we both played football together in high school, I was really honored when he asked me to be his best man at his wedding to Janice it was a very special day for me also, we did not keep in touch as much as I would have liked, but I am sure he understood. RIP

Deej was a first class teacher and coach. Always pleasant and willing to step in and help anyone and any time. I was fortunate to be both a student and later a colleague of his. RIP, Pete Nardie

Coach D was a very soft-spoken guy but very knowledgeable about the game. All the coaches we had were important part of growing up. I hope he got back to KIrkwood in the last 10 years or so to see the new facilities. It is now Astroturf with lights, brand new fixed seating areas and other facilities plusfirst class weight room RIP Thank you Coach, Bob Dickson KHS66
