I always smile when I think of Coach Emmons. I loved getting to know him on a personal basis when I was on staff from 1972-76. Coach was always kind and gracious to me...and virtually everyone. God bless all of his family.

Coach Emmons provided opportunities I am forever grateful for. He was a coach and mentor and much beloved. Mostly I'm grateful for the lifelong friendships I have with people from around the world because Coach brought us together and made us a family. I will never forget the many lessons and blessings he brought to my life. My love goes out to the Emmons family.
